This brew poured a rather somewhat of a small head. It had a yellow body to it. It was a rather smooth drink. This was a brew that I was not all that impressed with.

pours a pale yellow with a thin white head, aroma of corn and citrus, tastes hoppy with some sweet malts and a bitter finish, not a great body, but not a bad beer, id say its drinkable.

I had many of these on a recent vacation to Mexico. It works there, but it’s nothing I’d seek out north of the border. To me it tasted like a Bud with slightly more hops.

I picked this at random off a supermarket shelf and found its Miller meets a malty Schmidts taste was actually ok. I think it would be an improvement as a lawnmower beer. It had a mild bitterness to it with some malts showing and going.

Typical Corona type pale lager. This one is roughly the same, but it does have that slightly sweet crispy finish.

24oz can. Pours golden clear with a small, fizzy white head. Aroma is of corn, malt, grain, and faint hops. Taste is metallic with lots of corn, cheap beer malt, grain, and the faintest of hops. Not offensive to the taste, but not very good either.
