Reina
Cervecería Nevado

Poured from a bottle into a pint glass
Appearance – The beer pours a dark brown color with a billowy tan head. The head fades rather fast leaving a tiny bit of lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma is strongest of a roasted bready smell mixed with a whole lot of molasses and toast. Along with these smells comes a bit of a cola aroma as well as a touch of dark fruit.
Taste – The taste begins with a Very sugary sweet flavor that is a mix of caramel, molasses, and brown sugar all mixed with a whole lot of dark corn syrup and cola like sweet flavor. There is just a touch of malt that is mixed within, with this flavor seeming to dwindle as the taste advances. At the same time the sweet gets even stronger an the roast a bit lighter, with a little bit of a cocoa taste coming at the end, and leaving one with a very sweet and lightly roasted and cocoa taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the brew is average in thickness and creaminess with a carbonation level that is super high. The high carbonation level is good for the cola and the sweet tastes, but otherwise is not to well formulated for the tastes, and makes this one a rather soda like, instead of beer like, sipper
Overall – Way too sugary sweet and unbalanced. Not for me…

This is a nice mexican craft lager. Most mexican lagers are from mega breweries but this one is from a small brewery and seems like they don´t use adjuncts, so flavour is nice and crispy.
