12 Oz Bottle poured into glass
Look - oh the typical straw color with these adjunct lagers, you know the drill. There is some lacing on the glass.
Smell - The green bottle lends itself to skunk, so yeah there is a bit of that. Some musty grains and corn. Not great, Bob.
Taste - This beer is close to the BBD so it's hard to say what factors into it but this isn't very good. It's too sweet. It has a little mineral quality. It's medium-light body and medium-high carbonation.
Overall, too sweet for me, tastes like canned cream corn. I would be willing to re-visit this on draft.. Grade is a C-

Had this at a Mexican eatery at La Boqueria in Barcelona. Typical good refreshing, kind of semi-light Mexican lager that goes well with Mexican food. Was good on a hot summer day.

Pours out clear straw in color. The head is a little foamy with decent retention. Seeing a little lacing evenly around the glass.
A good amount of lemon, faint grains, and some pennies. No corn sweetness which is good.
Light in flavor. Still get that graininess which is nice but that metallic twang still lingers. Not as offensive as other AAL though.
Mouthfeel is light bodied with high carbonation. Typical.
This is just ok. A tad better than a few I could name. And I mean tad.
