Presentation: 22 oz bomber, clear label. Nice logo (same as the brew pub), described as a Mexican Style Lager. The web site says it is made with a yeast from Mexico, and served with a slice of lime. This was also available at Wolf Creek Ski Area, which is a nice touch.

Appearance: Pours perfectly clear and golden, thin head fades quickly.

Smell: Light grainy aroma, just a hint of vegetable.

Taste: Clean grain, very light. Not a ton going on here, but it is fairly refreshing.

Overall impression: Not the most exciting beer, but this is probably a great offering to get people in the door in Alamosa (not exactly beer a beer haven). I followed their advice and squeezed a lime into it, and it went well with some spicey food.
