355ml can. I always thought a salty beverage couldn't work, but I tried some margaritas this week and 3 out of 4 of them were ok. Salty rims don't apparently translate to beer. Almost no aroma, hint of sour. Taste is undrinkable, mostly salt and some cervesa and a hint of lime. Thin body. Avoid unless you want the tick. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Can of 355 ml. Another one the head of which disappears completely before you set your can down. Colour is bright golden yellow, and there is a small amount of bubbles in the glass. Aroma is mostly of lime. Taste is accuratelly described on the can, lime and salt, more salty than sour. Dry on the palate, mostly because of the salt, and thin bodied. Carbonation is light. Overall, too salty for me.

Backlog Mexico january 2011 Bought/tasted at combined bar/shop The Beer Box in Playa del Carmen, tasted on bottle. Standard industrial heavily influenced by artifical lime and salt..

Cannette 355 ml. Bue à Playa Del Carmen. Complètement dégeulasse. Le goût de sel est trop présent. À éviter.

35.5 cL can. Pours clear and golden yellow with a huge white head. Aroma is citrusy to lemonish. Citric, light beer note and towards sour even. Ends dry and citric.

I drank this from the can in Puerto Vallarta. It pours a little darker than your normal mexi beer with about 2 fingers of last head. No retention. There is no aroma at all, just like water. The taste is very weird, like a maragrita beer. The first taste is lots of salt followed by lots of lime. It might sound appealing, but its not at all. Mouthfeel is horrible, like water, and you can’t drink much of this.

Can. Pours a clear apple juice gold w no head. Nose is lime and saltwater, nothing else. Flavor is horrid. Fake lime and post pasta water. Maybe a hint of malt in the finish but primrily horrible. Body is disgustingly heavy. Not quite rockman heavy but still gross.

Pale yellow brew with a not much of a head. Aroma was strong lemon lime taste was the same with a lot of salt and no hops what so ever. I think the overwellming salt would just make me drink more bad beer like this. not again for this one. Tasted in mexico

i think i detected a trace of yellow in the clear color, a slight white head, no lace. smell of lime juice. taste is dreadful...no beer flavor with a dominant salt note and an artificial lime note. this was my first drain pour in many years. sampled in huatulco, poured out on the street. i think the salt is what truly ruined this one. if i want salt in my beer, can’t i put it in myself? the lime didn’t help, either.
