Okay Pale Lager, but nothing great. Minimal head, straw color, faintest scent of malts. Flavor is light, but has a slight twang to it. Average.

Not even close to the Amber. Somewhat malty and yeasty on the aroma with a little malt on the palate. Fair but not good.

Cancun Mexico. Pours a weak pee yellow colour. The head is off white with fairly big bubbles. Malts and a hint of some kind of flavor (something sweet and uninteresting). clean finish. bleh.

bottle. liked this one more than the Dos Equis amber and that’s saying a lot because I’m not a big Pale Lager fan. this didn’t have the green bottle "skunk" smell and I was amazed. had a little malty aroma. looked more like a bubbly champagne than beer. nice crisp flavor but also on the watered down side. Nice smooth palate. I like this stuff much more than Corona But it’s no Negro Modelo. this didn’t blow me away but I would drink this again.
