Aroma: Sweet corn-like aroma, slight skunk character, and saltine cracker-like character in the background. No hop or malt presence detected.

Appearance: Fizzy, pale yellow, crystal clear with no head retention.

Flavor: Very watery up front, a little bit of white bread character, some corn flavor, and a hint of skunk all dominate the palate. Finish is clean and dry.

Mouthfeel: Light bodied, high carbonation. No warmth, creaminess, or astringency.

Overall impression: Meh. It is what it is. The skunk character is a little too much for me and I'm assuming it's a bottle characteristic because I've had the tap version and it's somewhat tolerable. If I wasn't in Cancun looking over the Gulf this would be a horrible way to spend a New Beer Sunday. Given the overall purpose, I'm willing to overlook this issue. Won't ever have again unless I'm stuck in a Mexican resort.

I'm vacationing in the Keys and drinking Corona, it's State Law. I drink it with a lime normally by that makes it more of a tropical drink so I discard the lime.

Simply as pale yellow as it can be it had a sudsy, silly head.

The scent is virtually not there. Weak metallic grain at a guess.

I taste a.great deal of German influence with grainy, cereal malts. A Pilsner like quality it simply is overwhelmed in water. Obviously, water goes down easy and smooth and so does Corona.
