Bottle, 5.9%. Metallic aroma. Clear brown colour, quite stable head. Weak bready aroma, not unpleasant. Low bitterness, not much flavour. Quite boring, a bit like cheap lager with a bit of colour.

Like a big brother to Dos Equis. Still, you’d like to see it be a little better than it really is.

Bottle. Nice dark amber colour with a big fuzzy though rather short lasting head. Aroma of toasted malts, caramel and some hops. Smooth flavour of sweet malts, good hoppy bitterness, and hints of nuts. A nice long bit sweet dry aftertaste. This Cerveza Especial sure is special and in my opinion the very best mass produced beer in Mexico. The flower on the label is a "poinsettia". It turns red around winter time.

(Bottle) Pours a dark amber body with a spare white head. Aroma of caramel, metallic, and alcohol. Flavor of caramel malt with a funky metallic aftertaste.

Pouring from a 2006 bottle, this has a deeb amber body and a white halo in lieu of a head. The aroma is very caramelly with a smattering of candy corn. The two blend in the flavor into something that’s just a bit too sweet for my tastes. The finish is thick and candy sweet.

Actually a decent vienna. I bit dark for the style in a deep amber brown color with a thick tan head. Smooth feel with both a munich malt sweetness and a dry hoppy finish.

Reddish dark maber with a quickly dissipating light moka head. Light caramel aroma. In mouth, a light nutty caramel malt with, lightly oily mouthfeel, rather thin and short in mouth. A summer vienna for the beach. Gracias Raul.
