Serve in Dimpled mug, English pint, Lager glass, Shaker

Bottle. Clear golden yellow with a small white head. Stale caramel, corn malt and skunk aroma. Good carbonation, mildly sweet, thin, watery, goes down like water with little flavour, somewhat dry at the end with a bit of hops. Just not much there - if it was a little less corn and skunk it would at least be decent - unfortunately just not good.

This is a very poor quality beer with a stale aroma and flavour.

Bottle. Skunky aromas hit my nose and took it for a ride. The beer itself looks like your standard adjunct lager. Corn and skunk were dominate in the nose. Taste was full of adjuncts. On my toungue this felt like water. Overall, Sol will not pass through my lips again unless cornered.

For a pale lager, it gets the job done quite well. Balanced adjunct flavor, fizz, and some malt that lends itself stereotypically well towards blending with a fresh lime. Recommended (in context anyway)

Tasted from bottle into standard pint glass at Arcelia’s Mexican Restaurant in Lafayette Square, St Louis, Missouri, USA. Straw color with fizzy white head. Aromas of grass and corn, no hops. Bland, watery, off-tasting light lager. Not good. I suppose it would be a good alternative to tainted water paired with spicy Mexican food.

Bottle 33cl. Pale yellow with creamy white-off head that dissipates quickly. Smells to corn. Taste is medium sweet. Soft carbonation, medium body and no hopped. Boring beer.

This is a staple macro-brew for me whether i’m here in Texas or chillin’ down in Los Cabos! A squeeze of lemon or lime and time to drink! This brew poured up a crystal clear body with a thin foamy head that dissipated quickly and left marginal lacing effects on the glass. Aromas of corn and grains. Strong flavors of corn and hops in the light-bodied, easy-drinking brew. The finish is very dry and full of grains.

Bottle at home
Very pale, white head. Smells of malts and hint of hops of some kind. Taste is thin but hey, i would always reward a beer that tastes more than nothing - i fin malt with some sweetness here. Very thin and unpleasent mouthfeel. Some bitter finish
