look: 3 | smell: 2 | taste: 2 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 2

355ml can poured into pint glass 28/8/12

A golden yellows liquid is darker then I expected, a few streams of bubbles but nothing for foam or lace

S some faint sweet malt but there´s almost nothing going on here at all

T a little grass perhaps? again pretty close too water

M light but not watery too my surprise, decent carbonation and a clean aftertaste if you can believe that

O nothing offensive other then the complete lack of taste and smell, about as basic as a beer can get

2.9% makes it something to hydrate with in between double Margaritas at the swim up bar, don´t bother with this one

Reviewed from notes.
Can of 355 ml, ABV is only 2.9%.
Colour is golden yellow with a one finger head that disappeared rather quickly. I have yet to find a mexican beer with a head that lasts half a minute.
Very bad aroma, I thought I was smelling my feet while I was drinking it.
Taste is better but nothing obviously traceable.
Really thin on the body with very light carbonation.

Pours a poor looking light golden straw color with a thick white head and a little bit of lacing. Smells of grain and a little sweet corn. Tastes of sweet corn and a little tad of hop extract (you know its not real) and was pretty nasty. Mouthfeel is thin and watery. Drinkability is poor.

In my rankings never care the style of beer, just how much i like it, and this light beer i like a lot, actually is world class:

A: Yellow crystal, looks like a mirror, with a very flimsy foam collar, in fact i prefer drinking it from the blue bottle;

S: Very fresh and clean, sweet malt and eucalyptus;

T: Sweet malt and eucalyptus, but now with mint and floral hops;

M: Very refreshing and crisp, slightly bitter, light body and high carbonation;

D: The best light beer i have tried, if not for the appearance, reached A.

I drank this from a bottle into a pint glass in Puerto Vallarta.

This is beer is medium clear gold with a about a finger of head. Retention is lacing decent lacing.

The aroma is light with hops, and the taste is the same. There is a light bitter taste that is unpleasant and detracts from its drinkability. Corona or Pacifico are a better option.

A classic mexican pilsner brewed by mexican macro giant Grupo Modelo.

Aroma: Faded aromas of dry malts and hops.

Taste: Semi-dry malts and some hops. Nothing much interesting. Average mexican macro lagger

See pretty much any other light Mexican beer. Very easy to drink but lacking flavor. Very pale colored. Grainy, corn flavor with mild (sort of) hops but watered down and a little stale tasting. It is what it is. As far as light beers go however it really isn't that bad.

This one was floating in the fridge for a while so in honor of my recent Mexico trip and NBS, thought it would be time.

A: Pale pee yellow with no head and/or lacing.

S: Smells like a macro, a little extra in terms of skunkiness here. maybe age didnt do it wonders.

T: Corn and a horrific light beer. This makes miller lite taste great.

M: Over carbonated and poppy like a soda.

D: Worst light beer Ive ever had. Strongly prefer Miller, Hein and esp Sam Adams. This was flat out bad.

¡Salud! (With something else, please, because last night was the first AND last time I had this one).

12 ounce can from a local market

Poured into a pint glass with a golden color and no head at all

Tasted okay for a light beer, but then the aftertaste came and that was a different story

Could drink several of these if desired because it so light

Not recommended

look: 2 | smell: 3 | taste: 2 | feel: 2 | overall: 5

This beer is watery, effervescent, refreshing, and not very flavorful. There is not a lot to like or dislike about it because I feel this is barely beer. Nonetheless, it was good on an extremely hot day in Mexico, although I thought the lower-than-average alcohol content of this beer was very apparent in both its mouthfeel (very light and refreshing) and its flavor (virtually non-existent). This beer had very little body and not much flavor with the exception of some light, and not altogether unpleasant, corn adjunct flavor. I can't recommend this beer (it won't scratch your beer itch), but I can say that I certainly appreciated the refreshing-ness it gave me.

NOthing bad to say about it, but not much good to say either. It is clear and very light. Alhotugh there are commercials about its beer genuinity, maybe for people scared to get drunk in a party. It is only found in cans, but nice effort from the brewer, at least it does not taste bad, only that it has a water taste almost.
