Pours a medium golden yellow color. Aromas of hops, grains, and a touch of something fruity. Flavor has a nice hop action going for it, with a cheerios like taste.

A grainy sweet aroma. Was a pretty gold color, but it looked somewhat corny. Flavor was a Mexican sweetness, a little dirty, a little hoppy. It wasnt bad. It was better than Corona.

Bottle. Nose is sweet with hints of grain and bananas. Completely clear yellow with slow rising carbonation up to a thin foamy head that laces surprisingly nicely. The flavor is clean for the most part, some banana and corn. Tingly and thin. Very drinkable with an almost enjoyable flavor.

This is an OK beer. Light pale ale in color... I drank it out of the bottle. It has a slight tingly palate. It has a pretty good flavor sort of a corona/heineken mix. Will have again, but certainly not a favorite.

Had this at a very popular Mexican restaurant. I have to say, the best part was washing down the chips and salsa. Not much flavor and much like a typical American Lager. Most would agree that this beer works best on a hot day in Mexico...

Can. 12 fl. oz. Golden yellow with white, thin, disappearing head. Very light grain aroma. Thin body with a slightly dry texture. Not much to the flavor. Just a fair amount of bitterness. Goes down easy without any overpowering skunkiness. I’ll take a cooler full of these to the beach anyday.

Great for parties - it’s a decent value and gives you more to chew on than most cerveza mexicana. The finish is round and easy, like you want - I don’t need my cheap party beer to get wild on me, I’m already doing that myself. It is what it is, and I appreciate the hell out of it.

From the 12 fl. oz. bottle marked IG30C128-21:15. The pour is a golden-yellow with virtually no head and non-stop upwardly mobile carbonation. The aroma is vaguely malted, vaguely hopped, with a side bar of cut wet grass. A creamy but thin mouthfeel. The taste is rather flat and sour with a slightly bitter ending. This is your typical Central American style pale lager and nothing extraordinary. Their dark brew is better.
