Very little aroma and the appearance is average, but this Mexican Beer has much more flavor than a typical Mexican Pilsner. No acidic aftertaste makes you want another one on a hot summer day. I like to drink a couple on Sunday afternoons while watching a nice west coast golf tournament on TV. Very good with hot tamallees, tortilla chips and extra hot salsa!

Its pretty sad when your commercial description talks about being the leading beer sold in cans in Mexico. Typical crap, though it least it has a decent alcohol content.

All in all, a typical Mexican brew. Slightly better than Corona in my estimation, the pale golden pilsner has only the mildest hppy notes mingled with the faintest citrus hints. A bit of malt, but not too much of anything going on. Not terribly great, but not offensive. A decent sipping beer.

An average lager, but I preferred this to Corona, Dos Equis and Sol when in Mexico. Not sure why, but preferred withoot lime. The dark version is better.

This was enjoyed in Cabo San Lucas Hilton. It is sold like Bud or Miller in the USA. I drank mostly from bottles and cans. It is very drinkable cold on a hot beach. There is nothing remarkable about this beer. This was enjoyed again at Four Wids in Holden Beach. It is a great beach beer. Cold and refreshing.
