BBB63 (3767), La Porte, Indiana, USA May 5, 2008 Bottle and served in a standard glass during my Cinco de Mayo lunch: Nice Amber hue with a lasting fizzy head and some lace. The aroma has notes of Carmel and husky grains, a hint of DMS, a hint of chocolate, and some herbal hop. (I smelled lime but think it was from across the bar, where it fu*king belongs). The taste is mildly malty and herbal but disappoints after that nice nose. Some dusty yeast and medicinal notes as well. A light to medium-bodied beer that is refreshing enough to stand up to the Chili Mole. It does what is should, cuts through the heat and spice therefore refreshing the palate for more food.
Unholy_Brewing (286), Melbourne, Australia Aug 15, 2008 ...bottle. Actually not that bad. Pours a brownish amber, with a tiny off white head. Body is medium, slightly creamy, and goes down easy. Hints of roasted malt, corn and some sweetness. FInishes slightly bitter, but mostly dry. Overpriced, but not completely horrible, I guess it’s worth a try. iammarc (174), Inverness, Scotland Aug 13, 2008 Bottle, wetherspoons. Brown amber colour. Drinkable, but not ace. Probable quite refreshing on a hot day. scooter_bub (163), Lander, Wyoming, USA Aug 12, 2008 Bottle. Pours a clear amber brown color with a thin tan head. Aroma is of caramel and roasted malt. Taste is much the same. Even though it is overpriced, it isn’t that bad of a beer, as it is fairly refreshing and easy to drink. Is nice to have every once and a while. Also, the bottle is neat looking and fairly unique. m4rest88 (44), Beverly Hills, California, USA Aug 12, 2008 Pours with a small, white head that is light brown. The bar has a light brown - dark amber hue with light carbonation. The aroma smelled a tad bit like melted plastic with hints of some dark fruits and grain. The initial taste is lightly sweet, and then slightly bitter on the way down.
It has a medium body and fizzy carbonation. Not a bad Mexican Brew at all! chrissy (79), Connecticut, USA Aug 9, 2008 Bottle: Pours a clear russet color. Off-white head. An easy drinking brew, nothing like a dark amber beer,but enjoyable.
