Clear straw color with small ring of white head. Sweet light malt and some fruit and yeastiness along with the carbonic stench. Crisp, aggressive carbonation, but doesn’t sting the tongue too much. Medium bodied feel for macro lager. This must be a pretty fresh sample as there is no skunk or cruddy off-al-ness which I usually associate with the name. Actually, there is not much flavor here at all, good or bad. The sweetness from the nose seems even to be lacking in the taste. Pretty much a generic light "beer" flavor with some metallic notes. Pretty drinkable for what its worth, whatever that means. Still not gonna buy it.

Weak, watery, light, not even tolerable without a lime. I think Corona did very well with this beer considering how very indistinguishable it is from other pales.

Bottled. Pours the color of straw with a medium white head that dissipates quickly. No real aromas to speak of. Needs a lime to have any flavor, but with out a lime you get the taste of grass and faint hops. Not good.

Cerveja muito fraca e sem personalidade. Quase sem aroma, e o sabor é muito tênue. Pra matar a sede apenas.

Bottle shared with a friend. Heard so much about it and always avoided it until this week. Granted, the lime probably helped. Very weak an watery. Consistency was very thin and flavourless. Water with a hint of hops at most. It wasn’t horrible (probably because of the lemon), but it wasn’t good either.
