A golden beer with no head. It has next to no aroma and the flavor is boring sweet malty.

33 cL bottle. Pours almost clear golden yellow with a fully diminished white head. Aroma is mild cardboardish dry. Light metallic note. Shows a vague bitterness towards the finish. Dry and somewhat bland finish.

Bottled. Golden colour. Fruity, strangely champagnelike nose. Light bodied, but not as thin as many other mexicans. Rather sweet and just a hint of bitterness.

Canned. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is malts, maize and grass. Flavour is maize and overall very sweet. Sticky palate and a rather boring beer.

Very dull bronze. No head, no visible carbo. Heavy adjunct and fusel aroma. Makes the bland Sol tasted before it seem enticing in comparison. Tart, grainy, green flavour. No me gusta.
