Its sad that almost all Mexican beers are viennas... they all taste the same!! This ones got a little more bitterness but without the hops. Its got more color, which is probably artificial cause i can barely percive an increase in malts. Its a tad grainy with leather and earthy tones. Finishes like a bitter tea.

Reddish dark maber with a quickly dissipating light moka head. Light caramel aroma. In mouth, a light nutty caramel malt with, lightly oily mouthfeel, rather thin and short in mouth. A summer vienna for the beach. Gracias Raul.

Bottle shared with HogTownHarry, GregClow & tupalev -- courtesy of GregClow. Pours a clear dark amber with a small diminishing white head. Mild aroma of caramel malt is sweet and grainy. Flavour of sweet malt and grain with a herbal bitter finish. Medium bodied. Not great, but one of the better Mexican beers I’ve had.

Bottle shared with GregClow, Hogtown Harry and Blankboy, courtesy of GregClow. Dark amber, no head. Some Vienna malty notes in mild aroma. Decent thin malty taste. Herbal tinny tea like finish. I’ve certainly had better Viennas.

Bottle shared with blankboy, tupalev & HogTownHarry - my bottle via a trade with Nekronos. Dark amber with a small white head. Sweet malt aroma with a slight herbal edge. Flavour of sweet mild malt off the top, with some herbal bitterness coming though fast, and a short quick finish. Not bad of a Mexican macro.

Bottle (12oz). Shared with blankboy, GregClow and tupalev, GregClow’s bottle via Nekronos. Clear deep burnt copper with an average creamy-foamy off-white head. Grainy dusty aroma, slightly vegetal malt, hint of roast, dry herbal hops. Grainy, herbal and lightly spicy taste, bitter finish, sweet malt - ehh. Average body, not much carbonation, a little syrupy. Not horrid.

Bottle. Amber-brown colored, with a medium white head, quick dispersion. Aroma is slight toffee, otherwise, a little weak. Flavor is a little caramel and some toffee, very slight bitterness. Grainy texture, and slightly unpleasant. But it is cool to have a Mexican winter seasonal.

Clear mahogany with a medium off-white head. Skunky, slightly roasty aroma. Flavor has notes of grain, skunk, toasted malt and touches of chocolate and grassiness. Watery body with a thin texture and subtle carbonation. No lacing, ok head retention. Not good by any means, but somewhat drinkable.
