Bottle from Cincy store. Poured clear pale color with an average frothy white head that diminished slowly with fair lacing. Moderate sweet grassy aroma. Light to medium body with a thin texture and soft carbonation. Light sweet flavor with soft grassy sweet finish of short duration. Worth trying once.

Jul 21, 2008 (Bottle) I expected this to taste like a "Corona clone" but it actually tastes quite different. I like the other reviewer’s descriptor "inoffensive"; it says much. Aroma a bit yeasty and bready, much like some of the Italian macro lagers. No skunk, in spite of the clear bottle. Maybe this is because there is not much in the way of hops. A mild macro-sourness emerges toward the end, but it could be a lot worse. Overall? Disappointing for something to come out of Trader Joe’s. Usually they can do a bit better with their store-brands, even when it comes to beer. The best thing this beer has going for it is the pleasant yeasty/bready aroma...but it has little else to offer.

Jul 6, 2008 Clear-glassed bottle. Grassy corn syrup for a nose, but there is a trace of hops! Clear yellow pour with a creamy bright white head. Taste is sweet and very corny, pale malt is of poor quality. Grassiness pushed way toward the back, but at least there’s some crispness. Light, non-watery body.

May 10, 2008 Inoffensive pale lager. We stopped by TJ’s to pick up something light and Mexican to go with enchiladas - this worked out perfectly with a wedge of lime. It doesn’t really stand on it’s own.
I see that it’s made in Tecate - I should really try this next to a Tecate and compare.

May 10, 2008 Inoffensive light golden crisp dry, better with limes and cold, touch of salt, decent hop backbone.
