24oz can poured into pint glass. BBD Jun 2024 printed on bottom of can.
Appearance - Extremely thin white lacing, loose, bubbly, then. No stick or lacing. Slightly brownish red body. 1.5
Smell - Some spices. Chile? Tamarind? 2
Taste - A slightly deeper, smokier flavor than its competition. Good. 4.25
Mouthfeel - Good bite. Fairly crisp. On the medium to heavy side. 4.25
Overall - Drinkable. This would probably go better with food than other micheladas. Less complex, deeper notes.

A new entry in the canned Michelada field, seems like everybody is doing it these days.
This one pours a pale reddish orange with a pinkish hue. Murky with tomato juice and seasonings. Bubbles are large and filmy, ehh.
Aroma is pretty average, stale lager and tomato juice, mild herbal oregano note.
Taste is twangy tomato juice, fairly salty with a hint of lime, onion, maybe oregano. Base lager is bland. Light bodied and easy enough to drink but not a repeat but for me.

I tried this first directly pored from a kinda cold 24 ounce can into a glass mug. Tangy. Tangy. NEXT!
I added some ice cubes, several drops of Valentia salsa, a dash of Tajin Classico, a squish of lime and a sprinkle of beer salt into the mug. Mucho better & since I purchased 4 of these tall boys, that's how they'll get drank. But, overall, these are tangy until you dress'em up.

Pour is a light red highly carbonated look . Half finger of head of thick off white bubbles that drops to a skein of popping bubbles on top of the beer.
Smell is lots of tomato. Picking up hints of salt and a faint spice. Kind of a beef broth aroma.
Taste is sharp tomato up front. Salt follows. A hint of that like beef broth taste.
Mouth is medium with a twist of crisp finish.
Overall this is a good canned michelada. The beef broth kind of threw me at first. It is good and if someone was into these beers like me they may want to give it a go. I really think this just would take a huge hit in a taste off of my other favorite canned michelada.
