no discernable aroma, minor bittering, light fruity taste with hints of corn, light yellow/straw colored pour with little head. I was lucky enough to get one that wasn’t skunked - I rarely ever drink this beer because of the green bottle. A nice beer for swilling - better than the domestic megabeers but not really a ’craft’ beer.

[Bottle] Pours a light yellow straw color with a soapy white head. Aroma was grainy and little skunky. Taste was watery and corn. Like a liquid corn cake.

Typical aroma. Typical color. Typical flavor. Nice and smooth. All in all, a nice mexican beer. I like it better than the Amber.

Bottle. Vague grainy aroma. Very pale golden body, white head. Watery, bland. What taste there is, is metallic and unsatisfying.

Bottle. Pours urine yellow, with a high styrofoam head that took about 30 seconds to disappear completely. Aroma is lager funk, grass, and something sharp... Taste is fizzy and funky. Not good. Bread and malts. A second taste reveals something toasted, but I’m afraid it’s just ass. Not a good beer, in the grand scheme, but hey... it’s better than Bud Light.
