I purchased a fairly fresh can (packaged 2 months ago) - carbonation is great - maybe slightly strong. I poured this 12oz can into an ordinary pint glass.
The color is pale straw - and a touch hazy (not as clear as expected) but not off-putting - it looks the part but I think it should be a touch clearer. The smell is almost all grain and grass - low hop aroma - but I expect that of this style. Taste wise the malt and yeast make a good pair - but this is where I feel like this is more like a classic German lager (helles) than a Mexican beer. That said... isn't that what most good Mexican lagers taste like? So I actually rate this pretty high taste wise - I really like the malt forward and slight bread-like warmth on the back end. The mouth feel is very nice! It has body - but it's not heavy - you could session this beer. There is no cloying sweetness - that's a plus in my book. This category is getting a lot of attention lately - and while this one is good - it's not exactly a standout (That may not be a bad thing) - but all in all - I like it. I will buy more.
