A crisp Mexican-style lager with light notes of spice from Northern Brewer hops.

pours a foggy pale yellow, small off white head, no lacing. Aroma has some sweet malts, corn a hint of fruit, not much flavor, body is thin and watery. This might work on a hot summer day.

Pours a standard fizzy gold with a fluffy head. It smells more like real barely grain than other Mexican lagers by quite a bit. The taste follows the smell and is surprisingly full with a slightly corny taste a nice bitterness to keep it from being sweet. This one is a serious crusher and I can't say it any other way. Overall a very good adjunct lager.

Straw yellow body with a bubby white head. Smell is floral hops, slightly citrus, lots of malt grain. The taste is a slightly sweet grainy delight with just a touch of bright hops. It's well balanced and refreshing. This delivered exactly what i'm looking for, a subtle and simple Mexican lager. It has the simple profile of an adjunct but you can tell all the ingredients are top notch quality. A true session lager.

I’m surprised i haven’t reviewed this before.
This is an easy drinker. Most recently, i had it from the can. Slightly sweetish, light enough. Decent.

Thanks, Gregg!
Got this and a bunch of other beers from Gregg. Most of them weren’t that fresh, especially the IPAs. This one didn’t have a canned on date, but wasn’t as worried because of the style. Had four of these in the last week or so, giving them a 3.5 on Untappd and writing after the first one, “Good for now. Smell is much better than the taste.” We’ll see if I agree after a review.
Poured a golden clear color with six fingers of rocky white head. Could see a few bubble streams coming up from the bottom of the glass at normal speeds. Outstanding lacing. Good retention. (Sight - 4.25)
Smelled cereal grain, pear, bread, corn, grass and buttered white bread. A little better out of the can. (Smell - 3.50)
Tasted a little better today than the smell (unlike the first time I tried it). Got cereal grain, pear, grass, buttered white bread, corn and honey. (Taste - 3.75)
Light body. Creamy texture. Average carbonation. Abrupt finish. (Feel - 3.50)
A good beer overall. Not sure I would ever pay for one again though. (Overall - 3.50)
