Poured a clear dark copper with a quickly dissipating head, but did leave some lacing. Faint bread aroma. Some flavor but aftertaste was what I would imagine wet cardboard would taste like. Thin body with a lot carbonation.

This was given to me by my son Ben. He had a oyster fest during Christmas 2011. The beer poured a deep clear brown. The appearance of thisbeer is its best strengths. No head only a collar of bubbles. Only some malt flavors and no hops. The medium body lager had average carbonation. Smooth finish with some sweetness.

Bottle......too keep this short, all I’m going to say is that this brew taste like a German pilsner with the faintest hind of toasted grain.

Pours a copper color, surprising light creamy head. Crisp clean taste with bread and chocolate over tones, sweet hoppy finish. I’m not a Mexican beer fan both this one is quite tasty. Recommended with all Mexican dishes.

Dark copper with a small off-white head. Surprisingly ok lacing. Aroma of milk, bread, and chocolate. Taste is, well, watery, metallic Mexican dark lager. A little malt and a lot of metal dominate the flavor profile here. Thin, moderately offensive.

12 oz. bottle- Pours a clear dark brown with a fast collapsing head that reduces to a collar. The aroma is skunk, it smells like a Heineken with maybe a little roastiness to it. The taste is very similar to Negra Modelo or any other dark Mexican beer, roasted caramel malts, it leaves a dryness in the mouth. Body is thin, watery, carbonation is high. Unimpressed!

Dark, good head. Appearance and taste reminding me of Negra Modelo. It was surprisingly good, and that’s good because I had to buy a 12 pack just to tick one.

Sort of a metallic aroma. Amber straight up in the glass. Small white head. OK lace. Strict barley malt flavor. No hops so to speak. If creates a slight tniglyliny mouthfeel and a malty aftertaste.
