Awful corn watery concoction. I had forgotten how bad beer could be. Nasty and cheap. Terrible.

This was alright. The darker was far superior. It did not have that great aftertaste that the dark one has. This wasn’t bad though.

(bottle). Pours a clear golden/amber color. Spare white head which diminished instantly. Light grainy aroma and flavor. Short duration. No lacing. Soft carbonation.

I had this with some Mexican food and it was quite tasty. It cost me almost $5 I think I got ripped off, but oh well. I could not smell it because they put a lime in it and it messed it up, so that number is a little thrown off. I think it tasted nice and malty, but then weakened in my mouth. Went down smooth and looked gold. Nothing much to it, but not bad.

Not a great beer. Purports to be one of the best beers in the world, introduced to the market in 1966...but I wonder. It doesn’t taste very good, and tends to cost WAY too much in the U.S.

12oz bottle. Pours a transparent golden yellow. Very little head. Smells of corn, grain and skunk thats not too pleasant. Tastes better than it smells, but still no treat. An o.k. mexican brew.

12 oz can: Pours a golden color with a huge white foamy head. Aroma is somewhat malty, corn, wet cardboard, and some spiceiness. Taste is lightly malty, corn, and a metallic note. Palate is watery and everso slightly bitter. Overall, It’s a not so good pale lager that is best served ice cold. It’s rather blah...
