Poured from a can into a pint glass. Pours yellow orange with a small white head. Smells of salty lime. Tastes of artificial lime with salt and slight malt. Beer is light bodied and easy drinking, good carbonation. Overall, a good beer.

I have consumed several beers from this brewery. I am sipping on a Mexican lager with lime salt. I am using a belcher pint glass, and the temperature is 44 degrees. The pour created a frothy and airy, two-fingered white head with quick retention. The fast dissipation left some lacing on the glass. Examining the color of the beer, charting around SRM 2, a pale straw yellow. The clarity is cloudy, with some carbonation activity. The appearance is okay.
Nosing the beer, I limes, salt, and some malty sweetness. Smelling the beer a couple more times, I detect lightly toasted crackers and this odd aroma.
The flavors are muddled. I taste lime, salt, toasted crackers, grass, corn, and cereal grains.
The mouthfeel is crisp and finishes dry. The body is light with medium-plus carbonation.
This is a mess. The lime overpowers everything, and the salt in the nose bleeds. It tastes more like a light lager with adjuncts. I am not a fan of this beer.

On tap at the N3 Taphouse in Colorado Springs...

Pale yellow body with near zero head. Lime-like aroma. Strong artificial lime taste; cloying sweetness and minor metallic bitterness. Light body.

This is nothing like I expected for a Mexican lager, something along the lines of an acceptable American light lager, perhaps. Instead one gets this trite, artificial tasting lime disaster. I I don't have access to my own drain, so the taphouse has graciously accomodated me. A sad misstep from an otherwise fine brewery.
