Presentation: It was poured from a clear bottle into a Pilsener glass. Appearance: The body has very good clarity, some visible carbonation and a bright golden color. It forms only a small bright white head that fades fast. The fast fading head is reduced to just a small ring of foam that makes some slick lacing. Smell: The aroma is full of adjunct filled malt with some dry hay and grassy hops. Taste/Mouth: There are some mild corny and grainy flavors with some other cooked vegetable notes and grassy hay like notes. The finish is very clean with some mild bitterness quickly fading off the tongue. The palate is crisp and easy drinking with a light to medium body and nice active carbonation. Notes: Not bad at all and when served ice cold it works well to clean the palate of hot spicy Tex/Mex food.

Enjoyable, crisp beer. I prefer Tecate, however. This one is good without lime and salt, and best out of the bottle. Has an enjoyable hop bite and a slightly bitter goodness to it.

Very refreshing beer. This one is good for quenching thirst and you’ll also get allot of alcohol from this guy. It’s nice if you want that without too much bitterness. Light in hops and has a slightly mild maltyness. Easy mouth feel. What can I say, just a lifesaver in the desert!
