Neighbors had it in the cooler. Simply drank for the rating. It is pretty bad. Nothing much to discuss.

A softer finish than an American lager, and a slightly more refreshing smell. Am i willing to pay the import premium for this beer? Maybe, but probably not. I’ll buy a 12 pack if the grocery store has it on sale.

Overall, this beer was terrible, it was about as vile a beer as they come. I’ll avoid it like the plague form now on. Worse than I ever remembered it. tastes like it was brewed with manure.

Got this one for free, and I know why. Because the bartender just gave me golden, fizzy, water. No aromas to speak of, a slight malty hay taste. It even lacked the crispness most pale lagers have in after taste. High carbonation, extremely forgettable and gross.

Can. Shiny golden pour, reasonable white puffy head. Sweet funk aroma... yup, it’s a pale lager. Full malty flavor to start, then a sweet hay semi-funk kicks in during the mid-palate, before a fizzy, light, sweet diminishing finish. Not half bad. I’d take it over a bud light any day.

473 ml can from LCBO. Pours a clear gold with meagre white head. Aroma of garbage is clear from the second the can is opened before the beer is even poured. Maybe some graininess underneath that putrid smell. Taste is marginally better as the garbage is more muted and corn emerges. Some surprisingly harsh bitterness in the finish. If it wasn’t a hot day this would be a drain pour.

UPDATED: JUL 1, 2010 A decent lager: clear, clean with a nice taste. Goes well with Mexican with a littel lime slice.

Drank straight from bottle with a lime at Ranchero Northpark in San Diego. Goes well with a good Mexican meal when cold enough. It is pretty crisp and easy to drink. When I’m eating a burrito, its either this or Negra Modelo.
