Sweet, floral hop aroma with almost no head. Classic amber color and medium carbination make this beer quite appealing. There is a nice balance between the bitter hops and sweet malt. It has an interesting dryness that hilghlights its pilsner quality.This is a good lager, not watered down like most American macro pilsners.

12oz bottled January 2018 & marked bb January 2019 poured into a can glass at fridge temp 4.7% ABV 21 IBU. The beer pours bright golden straw yellow with nearly white head. The head recedes to a fine coat and leaves some lacing. The aroma is a mix of floral hops and light malts. The taste is more light malt with a steady balancing bitterness, but no distinct hop flavor. Mouthfeel is thin to medium bodied, adequately carbonated and mostly dry in the finish. The finish is clean with minimal off flavors. Overall, very good. Not sure it's a German pilsner, but it's the best light colored Mexican beer I've tried. Scored as a German Pilsner, not an AAL. AAL score would have been higher.

Pretty solid Mexican brew in a land of subpar Mexican beers. On the other hand, there's nothing particularly Mexican about it. Solid to ok drinker.

12 ounce bottle into lager glass; bottled on 9/2/2016, best before 9/2017. Pours slightly hazy pale golden yellow color with a 1 finger dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, light pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of pale malt and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; with solid strength. Taste of big cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, light pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate herbal, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, light pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice robustness and balance of pale malt and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and zero lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from bitterness. Perfectly clean on lager flavors, with zero yeast notes present. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp/clean, bready/grainy, and fairly sticky balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.7%. Overall this is a delicious pale lager style. All around nice robustness and balance of pale malt and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink with the modestly bitter/drying finish. Very flavorful for the low ABV. Clean pils malts with balancing earthy noble hop flavors. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example. More hop presence than most imports.

This is probably my favorite Mexican beer. Give it a try if you can find it. Pretty balanced if not a little on the fizzy side. Flavor is not overly malty.
