330mL bottle poured into a glass. Light-bodied, weak and watery pale lager. Slightly less offensive than Canadian and US macro lagers.

Fine tasting beer,I have no issues with it. But it doesn’t scream Mexico to me, when I’m feeling South of the Border. The only time I drink it is part of the "Beers of Mexico" case at Sam’s Club & it always is finished after the XX Amber, Tecate & Sol that accompany it in the box.

A completely non-offensive, very drinkable beer. Not much aroma, but what is there is quite pleasant. Very clear taste with EXTREMELY clean finish. One of my favorites, if only for the universal drinkability of it.

Bottle. Clean like water. No character, easy drinking. Less offensive than I remembered it being.

A yellow beer with no head. The aroma is no wait a minute there is not much to say about it since there is not much taste. Taste is like WHEAT WATER, & that is it. No flavors to like & no bad flavors just wheat water. Now I know why you put lime in to give it taste & get rid of the skunkiness.

( 12oz bottle thanks to bankheist) Pours very pale yellow with no head but decent lacing. Nose of corn, some light apple. Taste is off. Dirty water, light sweetness, crisp lager like hops. The finish is probably the best part actually which isn’t saying much. Maybe I’m just glad it’s gone. Watery body.

Sigh,,,,yes I know, another Mexican Lager rating, but you realy cant help but drink this beer whilst in Mexico since it is still safer (and does taste better) than the water. Served with gusto by Rafael and rueben at the resort swim up bar. White head on pale yellow body. Not much inn the light body... three 20 oz palstic cups of this with lime go down quite easily. Tart finish.
