jbye4334 (652), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA Aug 14, 2009 (draft). Clear golden color. Small off white head. Light grainy aroma and flavor. Short duration. Smooth finish. Slick/fizzy texture. Moderate carbonation. Spare lacing. Cletus (5001), Connecticut, USA Jan 17, 2009 Pours a fizzy yellow with a thin white head. Smells appley with some floral hoppy notes. Tastes dry with some sweetness on the finish. Okay for what it is. GeneralGao (3051), Iowa City, Iowa, USA Apr 8, 2007 12 oz bottle. Poured a clear pale golden color. Head was thin and white, but had decent retention and left some lace. Smelled of light grassy hops and yeasty bread dough. Somewhat sweet on the tongue with flavors of noble hops and light biscuity malt. This is unlike any Mexican beer I’ve ever had, but, in general, that’s probably a good thing. 5000 (2409), Hardened Liver, Washington, USA Mar 27, 2007 Bottle: Pale yellow, slight haze, large pillowy white head, clumpy lacing, light carbonation.   Pale grassy malts on the nose.   Similar tongue, however it is very dirty on the finish.   Reminds me of a used furnace filter, or even that of a vacuum cleaner.   Definitely malt oriented body, and mouthfeel, but the dusty/dirty aspect that creeps up the back of this one really detracts.   Blech...
hopdog (5525), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 8, 2006 12oz bottle acquired in trade with cbkschubert (thanks!). Poured a light and slightly hazy yellow color with a large sized white head. Aromas of grain with a light lemon lurking in there. Tastes of grain and a light puckering lemon. Thinner body. For a Pale Lager, this one was drinkable! IrishBoy (2685), Bakersfield, California, USA Oct 29, 2006 Bottle from cpkschubert, Thanks Craig! Nose of grain like a pale lager (no surprize), but there is a faint bit of citrusy hops in the background; gold with a small white head; Flavor was grainy malt in it’s medium-light body, with a little citrus and hops in the finish. Ernest (4481), Boulder, Colorado, USA Aug 15, 2006 Head is mostly diminishing.
Body is light yellow.
Aroma is lightly malty (toasted grain), lightly hoppy (herbs), with a light note of lemon/lime.
Flavor is lightly to moderately sweet, trace bitterness.
Finish is lightly sweet, lightly bitter.
Light body, watery texture, lively carbonation.
Very light and bland, but better than a lot in its class. Doesn’t smell bad, and that’s a big plus. ratman197 (3137), Arvada, Colorado, USA Aug 7, 2006 Bottle poured a clear yellow with a small quickly disapating white head. Aromas of cereal and a hint of lemon. Palate was light bodied. Flavors of cereal and light lemon with a crisp clean finish.
