This beer pours a crystal clear deep golden color with a huge, fluffy, bright white head. Retention is excellent and there are thick, chunky sticky webs of lacing that look like a very thick chain link fence all over the glass. Honestly this beer looks incredible.
Smell is very bland. Grain, corn, and hay are all there, but very subtle.
Taste is the same. Very bland. The best I can say is that there are no off flavors.
Feel is light and creamy with moderate carbonation. I wish it was slightly more carbonated.
Overall this is not a good beer. I got done with 3 hours of yard work and ran down the street to the store for a reward. I grabbed a 6 pack of Alpine for later and a 16oz can (for $1) of this to consume immediately. All I can say is that although this beer is very plain and boring, under the right circumstances it is very refreshing.

It has to be 15 years since I tried this one!
L: clear golden body; fluffy white head
S: pale grain, corn, faint grassy hops
T: modest flavors with more biscuity grain, corn, and pale malt; hops are slightly herbal and grassy
F: light body, higher carbonation; easy finish
O: for what it is, it’s decent

While I find the Jimmy Buffett Margaritaville stuff on the bottle a bit cheesy, I was surprised by this beer, it was a decent lager and highly carbonated, kind of reminded me of a less creamy tasting Miller High Life. I liked it.

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.
