Yellow pour with fizzy head, lots of carbonation. Smells like someone wrapped a skunk in a corn tortilla. Taste is corny, some cleaning supplies, a bit of pee. Fizzy mouthfeel that kind of dies and turns to a flattish mess. Finishes with a vegetable flavor like the last few pieces of lettuce at a salad bar.

12 oz bottle, consumed at home on Cinco de Mayo. Pours pale straw color with very little white head. The aroma is strong sweet corn with just a little bit of papery, chemical hops. The flavor is corn and artificial-seeming sweetness, with a little bit of a dried plant thing going on in the background. There’s a very distant bitter astringency in the finish. Very unimpressive.

Bottle sticky fingered from JoeTheYounger’s fridge. Thanks Joe, didn’t think you would miss this one... Pours a light golden color with no head and lots of carbonation bubbles.. Smell and taste is slightly sweet and bready, it’s your basic pale lager...Good carbonation and very clean.. I don’t drink pale lagers very often, but when I do... I prefer Dos Equis!!

Skunky smell and the taste is basically water. Commercial is "Stay thirsty my friends" Well I’m still thirsty after this.

Bottle. Another Cinco de Mayo cerveza. Pours clear yellow with a one finger white head that faded almost immediately. The nose is corn, sweet malt and grain. The taste is sweet malt and grass for the most part. No hops in this bad boy. Light mouthfeel. Weak sauce.

Pours a light yellow color with a thin white head. Aroma consisted of grain and skunk. Taste not much different: grain, corn, skunk, grass, some malts, yeast, not much hops, and something sweet. Very light and watery with some fizz. Not good.

From a bottle. Poured straw yellow, with little head. It tasted bland and watery. better than american swill in general. Worse than lots of garbage beers. I’ll drink again on occasion out of sheer convenience and price, but never when I want to TASTE my beverage.
