This is a below average lager. Pours a shampoo gold with a bubbly white froth. The nose is non existent, as is the case with these garbage brews. No flavor at all.

12oz undated bottle, unless there's a date on the 6-er, I might get back to you on that.
On the pour, there was some decent, white head, that maxed out at 2 fingers, although it faded fast. Surprisingly, above average lacing is left on the sides of my glass. Body is golden and light.
Aroma is like an exaggerated corona with skunky hops right upfront, and a dry, but lightly corny malt in the back.
Taste is like a watered down, and extra sweet killer high life, with some of those "corona style" skunky hops. This beer is very sweet, and rhe finish tastes like corn flakes. For the high price it just isn't good.
Feel is filling and syrupy. Why does this come off as so sugary? The aroma did not imply it was going to be this full and lingering in the finish. This is closer to heineken than corona, and I mean that in a negative way.
Overall this was pretty disappointing. Not as bad as some true cheapo lagers, but the whole selling point of this beer is Jimmy Buffet, and honestly the brew is just as whitewashed and deluded as calling Jimmy Buffet authentic Yucutan music.

Average lager, little lacing and a quickly diminishing head. Best quality is the clean dry finish, which is also to say that is its only quality. Average beer.

I have never liked beer but I like to give it a chance a couple times a year. I found this one and gave it a try. I really liked this one, so this will be what I will be drinking from now on.

12 ounce bottle, no lime.
Fizzy and yellow, saved by a little bit of maltiness.

You immediately get that strong sicking smell when you open it and it only gets worse from there. It pours yellow and has some sort of nasty lime flavor. Tbf I'd prefer a Bud Light Lime to this. Not a good summer beer at all.

Typical macrolager nothing to write home about. Refreshing and light - a good daytime beer.

Smells slightly malty. Pours clear light gold. Taste of light malt and with a hint of lemon. This has a crisp clean flavor but doesn’t really inspire me to purchase another.
