Brewed by FEMSA - Cuauhtémoc-Moctezuma (Heineken)
Style: Pale Lager
Monterrey/Veracruz-Llave, Mexico

Serve in Dimpled mug, English pint, Lager glass, Shaker

Aroma is very slight sweet DMS. No hops. Pours golden with quick foamy white head. Bright.very light flavor with a really thin body. Uncarbonated.

Pours a clear yellow with a thin white head. The aroma is of corn with a solvent-like smell. The taste is of fairly average corn grist with a hint of hops and a solvent aftertaste. Not the worst beer I’ve ever had, but the solvent taste really distracts from what could have been an average beer.

I’d never rated this before, so I decided to drink this on Cinco de Mayo. Y’know, My Spanish is a little rusty, but I believe that Cinco de Mayo translates into “Sink of Mayonnaise” or possibly “Sink full of Mayonnaise”. I find this odd because both of the Mexican Restaurants I frequent (Taco Bell and Taco Bell near where I work) don’t offer any dishes with Mayonnaise. Weird, huh?

12 oz bottle. No aroma to speak of. Watered down corn taste. It maybe the best Mexican macro. But.... that isn’t saying much. Use a lime slice, that way you taste something.

Poured from bottle into a mug. Appearance is pale gold with a thin wispy head that dissipates quickly. Aroma is a lot like gasoline. Taste is sweet and grainy. Not the worst, but far from good even for the style.

It pours a light clear gold with a white head, not much head or lacing. The aroma is light hops and a lot of skunk. The taste is basically the same. The mouthfeel is less than water, is that possible? Drinkable is ok but what’s the point with the abv.

Goûtée par devoir... Bière dorée où de fines particules suspectes y flottent. Col éphémère et négligeable. Arômes métaliques où ressortent un semblant d’herbacé et d’agrûmes. Plutôt insipide. Bière sans colone, extrêmement effervescente avec une fin en bouche quasi instantanée... Jamais plus...

UPDATED: MAR 20, 2011 A little bit of lemon in the flavor and aroma, a pale lager after that, not very unique apart from the small impact of lemon flavor, although it is decent.
