Yes indeed this beer tastes like crap, yet I had no problem downing a bottle in record time when battling the Acapulco heat.

UPDATED: JAN 16, 2003 This is a great copy of a crappy beer.

Yikes but this is not a very good beer. We had no other option on a Margarita Cruise in Acapulco so I had a few cups of this to verify my dislike. Typical Mexican watered down, yellow, bland crud.

Pretty clean. A little malty in the nose, but generally flavorless. The painted bottle is the chief calling card.

Liked better then Corona, no lime, no taste? Ill let the Mexicans handle this one. This beer was like the song Don’t Fear the Reaper without the cowbell. Because I got a fever and the only prescription, is more cowbell.

Wonderful cold, and In mexico, it’s strangely sweet and alluring. The imports are worse.

Great beer for the summer, especially when icy cold. Bottle very appealing. Tastes much better than Corona!!!

A good beer to be drinking on a boat cruise during the heat of the day. Refreshing only if crispy cold. Warm Sol tastes aweful. A bit wattery and unexciting. Little complexity, but a good substitute for a wattered down american classic (bud, coors, etc.)

Mamma told me if I ain’t got nothin’ nice to say, don’t say nothin’ at all.

More weak sauce from los muchachos de Mexico. Typical pee-pee color, no head, lame lame lame. Relying on a lime to make a beer taste better is total B.S.! Absolutely no point to this beer.
