Clear brownish amber. Light aroma, metallic and carmel. The flavor is somewhat better than the aroma. Somewhat being key here. Light bitterness some metal and wet dog. Not too much wet dog, but just enough to knock it down.

Great beer!, seasonal but great. String, dark and strong. it’s name is taken after the flower "Noche Buena" and because is seasonal: Winter, you know Christmas Eve.

Bottle (2003). Aroma is very mild, faint spiciness. Dark copper color, quickly disappearing beige head. Sweet and a touch malty. A little bit of a watery mouthfeel. I had this a while ago when the weather was cooler, and was more impressed, but I didn’t rate it. Just kind of average right now.

Was tld long ago that this was the great beer that is long awaited at Christmas time. Well, I for one fiond there to be very little difference between this and Dos Equis. There, I said it.

Well, I just empty my cardboard case with 12 bottles of this brew in it. One for each month of the year I guess. 2003 Noche Buena Special Edition. Indeed is one-of-a-kind beer, otherwise the brewery will make it all year around. Creamy, Sweet, Refreshing. I love it!

Clear amber appearance, now you see it now you don't head formation. Sweet all malt creamy aroma, slight alcohol evidence. Sweet initially clean malty flavor, mild nuttiness half way through, some bitter bite in the finish. For a Mexibrew this is not too bad, and if I lived there I'd probably be anticipating it as much as I do Sierra Celebration every year.
