Bottle. Pours yellow/gold, with a white head. Aroma is grain and sugar, with some malt and hops. Flavor is sugar, grain, and malt. Light to medium body.

Bottle 355 ml (Green Glass)
Appearance: clear pale golden lager with rather light top with even shorter life span. 2-
Nose: malty , grainy with hint of cardboard , finishing with corn and mineral water.3+
Flavor/Palate : mid bodied. Fairly decent frontal malty feel rounded up by sweet canned corn. Not to offensive , not overly carbonated with half decency. Bit oily textures on top. Very light hop hints.

Light, sweet, and refreshing with noticeable corn flavour. Less skunky than Corona. I guess pairing it with Mexican food wouldn’t be too bad.

Bottle. Pours almost clear in colour. No aroma. Light, but sweet taste. Good for a really hot summers day, but that’s it!

Pours a golden yellow with a heavy corn aroma. Tastes a lot of maize with mild metallic flavor. A very non flavorful beer that isn’t special.

Not very good even for cheap beer. Tastes like a boring lager at first then there is a light bad aftertaste. The bad aftertaste is like wet dog. Lots of corn taste.

On tap at a mexican restaurant. Pours a light copper with an offwhite head. Aroma is corny and grainy with a bit of hop. Flavor is clean grainy, bland and boring, but crisp with my spicy food. Not very good

330 ml bottle. Golden color, white head. Malty aroma and flavor. Slightly tart mouthfeel. Light body, medium-high carbonation. Contrary to the name, there’s nothing special about this brew.
