16 oz can

Pours a clear gold with a creamy eggshell head. Above average retention. Leaves a crown of sticky cobweb lacing.

Aroma has notes of bready malt, sweet corn, hay, and light citrus.

Taste follows, with spicy hops on the finish.

Medium-light bodied with lively carbonation. Clean and dry.

This is a good, well-balanced Mexican lager. Nicely drinkable.

 

Partially cloudy golden body, two fingers of eggshell white foam. Lime hops with corn malt and faint yeast giving off vague dough and bread innards. Taste is a clone. Feel is light and clean, malty with a delicate hop finish, crispness is moderate for style. Paired well with enchiladas

 

Purchased yesterday from a store cooler and kept cold until served. Poured to Nonic from a 16oz can dated 04/16/25.
The body is a light gold that is not quite clear. The white head is ¾ inch/18mm and fades rather fast to a 2mm ring. There is lacing on tilt, but it falls back within 15 seconds.
The aroma is of rising bread and with an herbal background.
The taste is clean and balanced. Malt adds biscuit and cracker in the front. The back is all hops and a little spicy. The finish is quite dry. At 5% the alcohol is hidden.
The mouthfeel is light. Carbonation is pretty prominent despite the disappointing head.
This beer is very crushable.

 

It pours crystal clear pale gold with a huge white foamy head. The head eventually falls to a thin cap that covers the surface and there's even a wee bit of lacing.

The smell is mostly corn. There's a bit of biscuity malt, not much in the way of hops.

The taste follows. Corn, sweet, biscuits malt, barely any bitterness. Acutually a bit more than a hint of hops - floral and grassy with a little cumulative spice after a few sips.

Feel is light, fairly lively carbonation and it's definitely hitting the post-Hades garden refresher button.

A simple, uncomplicated beer that's hitting right in this moment. Perfectly drinkable "regular" beer great for a hot day.
