Bottle at Los Pilones, A’dam. Bit darker than the standard XX. Skunky, citrus and lime taste. Good enough.

Smells decent. light malty, corn tastes at first, but then a slight malty, skunky taste, and a relatively quick finish. Definitely better with lime, to give it something else. Not great, but a good easy enough beer to drink by the pool.

I guess this bottle is pretty fresh, because I’m getting no skunk at all. A little dry doughy flavor, which I don’t care for, but otherwise good. Crisp, clean palate. Fruity and floral. No defined hop flavor or bitterness. Not detecting any adjunct flavor. Reminds me of a cleaner but more flavorful Miller Sharps. A pretty good refershing lager.

Drank this just for the rating. This was in my neighbors cooler for the memorial day weekend. Yellow pour with white head. Thin and bland, blah blah blah. Nothing to see here.

Pours a straw gold, not much head or a roma. Flavor is very minimal, which might be a good thing. Accompanied my Mexican food well; but special it is not.
