Cold 12oz bottle and on tap: Pale golden color with minor white bubbles on sides of glass. Aroma of straw/grass, some corn. Smooth and refreshing. Great light body lager for a hot summer day.

For a mexican lager this ain’t bad. Better than corona. Tastes a little like corn and hops. Watery mouthfeel.

Beer had a strange soapy taste. I’ve had this beer a few times, and every time, I get a strange soap flavor on the front end. Pours with little to no head, brownish color. Not impressed.

Had on deck of a cruise ship sailing the baltic. Perfect for 80+ degree weather. Pours typical fizzy gold with medium white fizzy head. Aroma is corn, sweet caramel, straw, and grass. Flavor is nice and light but with some sweet malt flavors. Overall, a very enjoyable lager.

(bottle - 12 oz) Clear golden in color with a thin layer of white head. Very little carbonation. Aroma is light and dry with hints of dry hops and some corn. Flavor is dry and sweet with hints of corn, straw, and some hops. Very watery and slightly flat.

I had this beer in Mexico. I’m not sure if it is the same there as it is in Canada, but you couldn’t get me to drink this stuff if it was free! It is one of the most substanceless beers I have ever had, and it’s got a bad after taste to it.

Pour is yellow with white head. Aroma is nothing. Flavor is nothing. Pretty bland and crappy. The only redeaming quality about this is you can pound them on the beach in cancun.
