An orange beer with no head. The flavor is sweet and malty. The flavor is thin, slightly sweet and malty with no bitterness. Its a little sour with notes of brewmash in the end. A below average pilsener - but a good thirstquencher.

(Bottle 32,5 cl) Beautiful amber colour, rather limited head. Fairly full-bodied with a lovely, full malt sweetness. Discreet bitterness. Not exactly a great lager but has a lot more character than the typical Mexican macro-brew. 020505

33 cL clear bottle. Pours clear and golden yellow. Bitterhops, grainy and light acidic grassy aroma. Thin watery flavour with a little bitterness to the finish. Subdued metallic note. Increasing bitterness in the far finish. Drinkable.

<b>Bottle 33cl. at home.</b>
Clear medium orange color with a small, fizzy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, white head. Aroma is light to moderate malty, grain, toasted, citrus. Flavor is moderate sweet and some sour notes with a average duration. Body is medium to light, texture is watery to oily, carbonation is soft. [150908]

Bottle (4.5%). Golden colour, small white head. Slightly citric flavour. OK body. Not too bad for a boring pils.

Can, some gas station in Ferndale, WA
Golden colour. Thin line of head. The aroma shows green apples, high alcohols, some random fermentation byproducts that ought to have blown off...not lagered much I guess. On the palate, it’s still quite cidery and grainy but fades into watery oblivion just enough to allow me to choke back the can. Could they have spent less time and money making this?
