Commercial Description:
A dark, Mexican-style lager. Medium-bodied, brown in color, a bit toasty, with a very smooth finish. Based on a Vienna-style lager because during the 19th century a number of Austrian brewers immigrated to Mexico and brought their brewing traditions with them.

Clear copper with a fizzy white head. Nice sweet malty aroma and a sweet creamy vanilla taste.

Tap at the Corona location. Dark brown pour.Roasted malt aroma, but on the light side of the roast scale. Flavor was light roast as well, like putting ice cubes in coffee. Very drinkable and pretty damn good too.

Chestnut brown brew with little head. Malty, caramel nose. Medium/light body with a burnt toast aspect to it. Very little in the way of hop bitterness. A decent brew to session with.

I don’t remember this beer too well, but I do remember a very carbonated mouthfeel which was slightly thin. Was crisp with the finish but left a bad sweet aftertaste.
