Bottle. Amber pour with almost no head. Aroma is mildly sweet, grainy and has a small hop presence. Sweet malt flavor with some decent hop character. Not bad.

I did NOT like this beer. I was out at a bar watching the Red Wings game, and this was on special, and i can definitly see why. very skunky, even more so than budweiser or miller. Just gross.

Bottle from WFM Charlottesville. Pours orange-brown with a big head and decent retention. Skunky, sweaty malt aroma. Sweet, malty taste. Very corny. Very watery. This was my favorite beer when I was twelve.

Pours amber color with an ok head. Nose is malty with a little sweetness. Taste is smooth; it ain’t very complex at all, but absolutely inoffensive. Body is not completely thin. Malt taste in there. Tiny bit of sweetness.

Caramel color with a quickly disappearing white head. Smooth and malty with a caramel nose. The taste is more like a smooth lager with a sweet malt finish. Nice clean drink. Decent as far as these big names go.

Dark amber pour with modest white head, some lacings. Taste is roasted malts, some bitter hops. Good alternative to American macros. Some actual flavor here. A little corny. Some yeast funk. No skunk though. Good session macro or with a Mexican meal.

Bottle. Pours amber with an off white head. Sweet malt aroma, caramel mostly. Medium body. Flavor is lightly sweet with caramel and candied sugar. Much better than I expected.

Wow, how have i not already rated this!? Slight malt, but still typical mexican macro lager aroma, and flavour. No hops to speak of, i guess it might be good mowing the lawn and really cold. meh...........
