UPDATED: FEB 10, 2012 Source: Can. Absolutely terrible experience. First after drink I feel salt, so I don’t want to swallow it. But whatever, close eyes and be brave... Then sourness and then taste of vomit. Sourness lasts very long after drink.

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.

Appearance: Pours a clear, translucent body with just a minute tinge of yellow with a very thin, uninviting white head. Smell: The twangy nose is lime fresh! No good can come of this. Taste: Faint, shamefaced malts hidden beneath a heady layer of table salt and terrible tasting artificial citrus additives. Just a blip of bitterness, perhaps it’s just imagined. Prolonged salt and lime combo until the merciful finish. Mouthfeel: Thin-bodied. Medium-light carbonation. Drinkability: No, thank you. My accompanying beer snacks already have my daily sodium content through the roof!
