clear glass bottle so didn’t pour but it’s pretty clear golden lager beer-looking. kind of skunky and stale / musty beer on the nose. taste is a little better (although i admit about 5 sips in i decided to add a lime..). medium-full mouthfeel bordering on a little thinner. not bad. my folks have been on an adli’s kick and i’ve been trying the different beers they get!

Poured from bottle best by August 20,2023 into a nonic; clear, golden with a half-finger of head which quickly vanished, no lacing. Scent of funkiness and grain. Taste of corn; hops absent. Light mouthfeel with almost no aftertaste. Okay beach or lawn mowing beer.

Cerveza Monterrey has a medium white head and a clear, somewhat bubbly straw appearance, with moderate lacing. The aroma is of white bread and mezo-American corn. The flavor is of sweet white bread and almost no bitterness. The body is medium, and Cerveza Monterrey has a dry finish. At 5.3%, it's malt liquor-ish.

Cerveza Monterrey brewed by,
Cervecería Centro Americana, S.A. This American Adjunct Lager pours out of a 12oz glass bottle into a pint beer glass. The brew has an ABV of 5.30% Now the cor of this brew is a nice golden amber color with a nice white head. There is also a thin amount of lacing to this brew, it does stick to the side of the glass. The smell is rich with grains an malts notes at first. Then a slight sweetness mixed with mild hop bitterness at the end. So far Cerveza Monterrey is a nice inviting brew. Now for the taste, it is Smooth with flavors. You pick up a nice amount of grains an malts in the taste. Nothing to write home about, but definitely a refreshing drinking brew. The body of Cerveza Monterrey is a solid medium . There is nothing overpowering about this brew, it has a super nice balance to it. This brew would go nice with lunch or dinner. The mouth feel is Clean, Smooth, Crisp, Mild, and Refreshing. Overall I am going to give Cerveza Monterrey a 3.75 out of 5. I have had a lot worse but have had better. I would however look this brew up again givin the opportunity too. Cervecería Centro Americana, S.A., did an ok job with this style of brew.

Poured from a clear 12 oz. bottle. Has a pale straw color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is mild, some grains. Taste is light, grains, malts, a hint of band-aide(?) very easy drinking. Feels medium/light bodied in the mouth and overall is a mediocre beer.

Very, very pale white gold with a short white head settling to a fluid surface over a bubbly body.

Taste is white corn with a touch of buttered bun and a hint of white grape. It's pretty plain and weak, with a sweet artificial sugar character to it, unless that's just a rice attribute.

The medium-light body is kind of filmy yet softly crisp, finishing semi-dry and somehow a little numbing.

A waste of calories, but at least it's not skunky. That ALDI storage.

12oz clear bottle (undated) poured into a pilsner glass at fridge temp 5.3% ABV. The beer pours bright very light yellow with nearly white head. The head recedes to a thin ring and single layer of tiny bubbles. Moderate lacing. The aroma is faint with a hint of cereal grain and a slight yeast note. The taste is corny, grainy, just a bit tart with moderate to mild bitterness and a little movie theater popcorn butter. The mouthfeel is thin bodied with average carbonation and a mostly dry finish. Overall, good AAL. I'll drink the rest of the pack from the bottle with a lime wedge and report back.

Bought at ALdi's for $5.99/six pack of bottles here in Oklahoma.

Clear glass made me nervous but these were fresh. Crisp and refreshing. More malt than expected but not cloying. Some grain. Light but present hops.

Judged against others of its genre (Macro-style lagers), this was one is way above average.

Poured from a bottle. Gold color with pretty white, one finger head. Good carbonation. The taste was decent, especially for the type of beer. The mouthfeel was surprisingly thick. I could taste the alcohol (5.3abv), which was good.

Poured from a bottle. Bright yellow in color with a small head and I even got some lacing. Smells of malt and bread. Flavors include bread and corn with a slight sweet touch. I got no after taste. For an adjunct it's not bad at all.

While not terrible, this is not a great beer. The color is golden. I am not particularly partial to this look of beer but it isn't really bad in and of itself either. The smell is especially bad, unpleasantly musty. The taste is better but with some off flavors and an aftertaste reminiscent of the smell. Not a good beer but drinkable.

Poured from a bottle into a pint glass. Pours translucent straw with a fluffy white head. Smells of sweet grain with just a hint of lime. Tastes like many adjunct lagers, little hint of lime aftertaste. Beer is light bodied and easy drinking, good carbonation, but a bit thin. Overall, a slightly below average beer.

Really tastes more like a landshark but half the price. The alc is 5.3% so they got that wrong. Being in a clear bottle worried me but a got a sixer that was not sitting there for long and i was pleasantly surprised. If you don't get it skunked because of how the shelf it in the light it will be really good. If not it will probably do the corona thing and be rank when it see too much light
