Good mouthfeel. Great without the lime. Best when enjoying on the beach in the Riviera Maya. Always reminds me of my honeymoon. Otherwise, very average, but enjoyable.

Matured on Dos equis darker beers. Pour is light and bubbly. Almost looks like a typical american light beer. Aroma may be perfumy but this may be the smell of the dishwasher chemicals. Very lager like and well behaved. Friendly and repeatable. There are other lager beers that are out there that are more enjoyable and less expensive. Finish is not offensive at all. Like-able and nice.

Pours slightly darker than water with no head. Very light gold. Aroma is very light corn and malts. Flavor is also quite light. Corn, malts, and light hops. Found it to be sort of tasty and refreshing. Not bad.

I thought I would continue my Mexican beer journey back in the States, so I picked up some of this to go with the Mexican food my sister was cooking. I should have just had it in Mexico. Same stuff, different bottle. Pale golden color out of the green bottle with only feeble white bubbles for a head. Faint sweet nose. The taste seemed overwhelmingly metallic, like dirty nickels. Thin sweetness, but not much else. This is another beer that is best served ice cold on a hot day, and not analysed too much.

Not much aromas and taste in this. The only thing that i really tasted where adjuncts like rice and corn,some fruits and some barley. Very weak.

Canette. 26/03/07 Puerto Vallarta bay best beach !!! Arôme sucré, légèrement alcoolisé... Jaune-or, effervescence forte, mousse faible qui s’efface rapidement. Goût de maïs, avec une présence d’amertume. Très mince , effervescence moyenne à forte. Correct pour se faire griller sur la plage !

Bottle - Golden color with thin white head. Couldn’t detect much in the way of aroma, but hints of citrus/fruit. Weak flavor of sweet malt, barely detectable hops. Watery.
