Pours yellow with a foamy white head that has poor retention. Aroma is full of corn and a little cereal. Flavor is about the same though alot more corn. Really there isn’t alot about this beer that isn’t corn I can say that it seems to have fewer off flavors than alot of other cheap, watery worthless mexican pale lagers that people pay premium price for, but what would be the point? It still tastes terrible. Palate is thin an neutral, pretty flat for a pale lager. Overall I wouldn’t recommend it.

Rustyham (1302) - Nashville, Tennessee, USA - MAY 6, 2009
tastes of rice, wheat, and slight malt. Dishwatery, disappointing, far from exotic. Very drying and chemic. Dirty.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a strong yellow color with a white head. Run of the mill corn and malt flavor. No texture, spineless and flat. Light bodied. About what I expected: nothing impressive and worse than mediocre.

Yellow pour wihth some white head. Lots of visible carb. Corny aroma, with some metallic hops. Flavor isn’t bad, corny and watery, but the sweetness is atleast controlled. maybe a hop in there somewhere. It’s not terrible, which is saying a lot for most mexican lagers.

Papillon (280) - Sudbury, Ontario, CANADA - APR 26, 2009
473 mL Can. Clear yellow body with a thin bubbly fizzy head that dissipates almost instantly, no lacing. Aroma is corn, corn husk, cardboard, and earth. Flavor is sweet corn, cream corn, and a corn husk aftertaste followed by a sweet watery finish. Tecate = Mexican for water. This is the safe alternative to drinking the local water for those who are thinking about traveling to Mexico.

Asked for a glass for this one because I wanted to properly rate it. Pours a piss yellow color with a fluffy white head. Aroma of sweet corn, malts and really no hop. If it is ice cold, that is the way to drink it because it will hide the terrible flavor. Why does Mexico bother brewing beer, they should just make pipe-lines from Stone’s urinals and directly bottle...or can from there.

Pours yellow. Weird aroma. Bad taste of corn, etc. No thanks. But cheap!
