Piss like color with small amount of bubbly head that quickly retreats. Aroma is of nothing. Flavor is corn, pale malt, and bittering hops. Too watery of a palate, but at least its not overly carbonated like so many American examples. Finishes quite dry. This has to be served very cold to taste even decent.

12oz bottle. Pretty good for a Mexican beer. Light colored topped with a thin head. Slightly hoppy with some citrus notes. Light bodied and easy to drink a lot of these although it could use a little more flavor.

They had it on tap at alehouse and i gave it a try. It was an ok beer that was slightly overcarbonated and lacked a lot of flavour.

Sampled during Swig-a-Swill Guzzler in St Paul, MN. Pours a clear straw pale brew with a thin white head that totally disappears clean when served at 35° F. Aroma of golden grain malt, some mild grassy hops and a hint of corn. Taste is light bodied, plenty of carbonation and flavors of golden grain malt, corn and grassy hops. Finish is pretty much watery, clean cut with no aftertaste.

Pours gold with a white head. Smells of apples, skunky. Tastes skunky and caramelly with a touch of sweet malt on the finish.

essa Pale Lager/American Adjunct Lager mexicana é uma versão agradável do tradicional "pão líquido". Sua espuma alva tem aparência inicial pequena e reduzidíssima longevidade. Há uma moderada formação de colarinho (difícil de se ver no estilo) em seu corpo borbulhante, de densidade rala e amarelo-médio. O aroma, tradicional, traz pesada presença de lúpulo e pão claro, bem como peculiares notas distantes de poeira. Leve amargor é a tônica dos sabores inicial e final, este último de curta duração. No paladar percebe-se um corpo leve, de textura aguada, pesada carbonatação e final de sensação levemente adstringente.

What can you say about XX besides it is a low end skunk. This is cool when you are young but should be forbidden after age 21.
