For what it is--cheapassed Mexican beer--it’s OK. Light malty flavor with a light, crisp hop note. Not great as beer, but good with spicy food.

Average beer here. Easy drinking with an above average alcohol content for similar beers. I had it out of a can, probably slightly better out of a bottle. A little skunky at times.

33 cl bottle. Bland faintly hoppy aroma. Golden in colour with a white head that disappears quickly. Bland hoppy lager taste. not unpleasant but very run of the mill. Dry hoppy finish.

Another weak beer that left me drinking water or Corona. I may have to rerate both water and Corona for 30+ C degree weather.

No different or better than Corona or Tecate. Probably best with a lime? Corny flavor with a slight bitterness but nothing horribly offensive. Perhaps a notch above any other "American" Standard. I saw this in a "Cinco De Mayo" dispaly at the gas station and thought why not. Why is Mexican independence day celebrated in America by drinking bad beer? Do you think Mexicans drink Bud Light to celebrate the 4th of July. I doubt it.

Something like so many standard pale lagers. Pale and medium head. some sweetness and a little hint of bitterness. Flavor finish a bit odd.
