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.

...bottle, can. Bottle is obviously better. Well, not much to say abou this. Clear yellow, no head. Flavors of corn, and maybe a touch of malt, but not much. Smooth, easy drinking, beter than most mexibrews.

Bottle. Pours a nice clear golden color with a thin, soapy, white head. Has a nice aroma of malt and corn. Taste is much the same, except it is a little watery. Though it is overpriced, it is a pretty nice beer, that is refreshing and easy to enjoy, especially on a hot day. Overall, this is one of the better Mexican beers. Also, the bottle is pretty neat looking and unique.

Bottle. This is a typical mexican beer. However, it is better then most mexican beers. Pours a straw yellow with almost no head. Smelled of corn and malts. This is a very drinkable beer. It is also good to drink on a hot summer day. Smooth

This beer smells, looks and tastes absolutely awful. I got a free sample bottle where I work and I ended up pouring it out because I could NOT drink it.

(Tap @ Gingerman, Houston, TX): Pours a clear yellow-light brown color. Smallish white head, somewhat lasting. Sweet wheaty aroma, maybe some malts, but no hops. Fizzy taste, fruity, maybe banana. Some malts, fruity aftertaste. Surprisingly tasty.
