This is the refreshing Mexican beer people SHOULD be drinking instead of Corona

Pours a light yellow with almost no head. I smelled light malt and yeast. Almost undrinkalbe...had to add a lime just to finish.

Free in the mini fridge of my Cozumel hotel. One of the worst beers I’ve had. The bottle version in the US is better. Tastes like bitter metal. Needs 2-3 limes to be drinkable.

Its funny because this cheaper version of a mexican style pale lager is somewhat refreshing. That is, when you are in mexico on a beach, and are trying to get drunk, this one works well...it is slightly refreshing.

12 ounce bottle. Just a waste of calories. Has to be bad if needs some lime.

When I get free beer, I rate bad beer. It just happens. Piss yellow, with nary a head after about 30 seconds. I am between a 1 and a 2 in terms of appearance, as it doesn’t look disgusting, just flavorless. Stale corny smell with a dash of grape. Not a ton of off flavors. Not a ton of anything for that matter. Maybe some faint dusty straw? The body is thin and tepid. But boarders on quenching, if it weren’t slightly sticky. The flavors are hardcore stale corn. A bit of some bitter straw, but I don’t think hops, and maybe some of that grape? The finish is a lingering unclean bitterness. Drink it cold, or don’t drink it at all! Better yet, don’t drink it at all!

Bottle: Had in Mexico City. Like water. not a lot of flavour, goes down easy.

I drank this like water when I was in cancun. It was not good but it cost 10 cents.
