Drank 01.06.23 in the Southern Yucatán, Mexico. Really hit the spot, and despite being a mass produced corn lager, is really smooth. No hop presence whatsoever, but thin, thirst quenching when cold, extremely tasty when warm, and just a good cheap lager.

300mL bottle BBD OCT 2022 poured into a vintage bow tie glass at fridge temp 4.6% ABV. The beer pours bright light gold in color with nearly white head. The head recedes to a pencil thin ring and island. The aroma is slight with a hint of malt. The taste is semisweet corny, slightly tangy malt with a side of vague vegetable and negligible bitterness. The mouthfeel is thin bodied with above average carbonation and a mostly dry finish. Diacetyl is present to a noticeable degree. Overall, fair AAL.

Poured from the 300mL bellita bottle (which is in fact the same beer as regular bottled superior) this bottle also says its 4.6% not 3.6%. maybe the 3.6% is alcohol by weight.

The look is like any other adjunct lager, has a light head that fizzles down over a few minutes into a few clusters of floating bubbles. Very light not a lot else going on here average carbonation. Crystal clear.

The smell is very vague, with a sweetness and hint of hops but nothing that really stands out.

The taste is similar to the smell, but with a stong corn flavor. No bitterness basically just corn with lager flavor but easy to put down and nothing necessarily offensive. Would be better if it was colder. Right at the front there is a mineral flavor that isnt the best but doesnt really get in the way. Pretty boring.

Feel is denser than you might expect, but still could be a beach beer, but not the best work beer. Maybe good for drinking on a summer night ice cold, but it better be cold. Quite sticky as it warms.

Overall it's a cheap mexican lager with a bit too much corn. Wish it had a bit more gops to balance it out. I suppose balance is the main thing it lacks. All it there is here is corn flavor and I'd appreciate it if there was something more, but if you find it for cheap in the full size I would still give it a try.

clean light adjunct lager beer. in taste and appearance, very comparable to amstel light. so happens to be another product in the heineken portfolio. for what it is, albeit remove the import price here in the us..... and also the small 10.14 fl oz bottles, the beer itself is a good product. ymmv.

I mean Mexican beer is pretty bad right out the gate, this stuff takes it to the next level below. I actually like drinking a Modelo from time to time, not bad in terms of light beer. So I tried this one thinking hey it's probably like a Modelo. It was cheap, $2.50 tall boy so what could what could go wrong? Pours a golden color with a decent fizzy head, nothing on the aroma side but you probably already assumed that. The taste is more soapy seltzer than beer - honestly this stuff doesn't taste like any kind of lager I can think of except maybe Michelob Ultra which is a whole other story. Check it out if you dig Mexican lagers otherwise grab a Modelo and some hot Cheetos.

Clear yellow colored beer with a wisp of a white colored head.


Smells sweet and fairly corny. Toasted grain scent. Faint noel hop scent, mostly it is grassy.

Starts out Neutral. Mildly sweet and tasting of Mineral Water. Mild bitterness. No real hop presence. Bland.

Mouthfeel is watery.

Overall just a beer. Sees no reason to ever try it again.

2.87/5  rDev +9.1%
look: 3.25 | smell: 3 | taste: 2.75 | feel: 2.5 | overall: 3
Look: Crystal clear pale yellow with a billowing white head that slowly craters to a lid, leaving behind great lacing
Aroma: Light wafts of pilsner malt, cracker-like malt, floral hops, and cereal grains
Taste: Sweet malt and grains come on strong followed by some light but welcome floral notes. Honestly, this didn’t seem like it would be this sweet from what I read from the nose. As that fades, a little corn comes in and finishes with more grains
Mouthfeel: Light but fairly full, a little cloying from the sweetness, somewhat clean and crisp but the sweetness definitely takes from that
Overall: Ehh, this isn’t terrible but it’s far from good as that sweetness really detracts from what I assume is coming with a cerveza – crisp, clean, and light. I’d never heard of nor seen this beer so had to try it, and at $2.99/24oz can, it wasn’t an expensive gamble, but I’d grab a Modelo, Bohemia, Victoria, or Tecate every single time over this

look: 3 | smell: 3 | taste: 3.25 | feel: 3 | overall: 3.5
Appearance: Clear lightly yellow goldenish. Smell: Not too noticeable; thin corn, I guess, like a beer, though. Taste ain't too bad really; has almost a touch of a sorta simmering sweetness in it. OK on the feel. Overall, it's a nice, easy, simple beer to just take a moment or 2 and enjoy. Dribble a real small salt splash to it, though.
BTW, the can I drained it from sez 4.6% Alc./Vol. MUCHO better that 3.6, SI?
