Pours a nearly crystal-clear yellow-orange with a finger of white head. Head retention is okay with a long, lingering ring of white foam. Aroma is dank from the moment the bottle cap is pryed off. Herbal, floral, and rye hops add a little spiciness. Flavor profile is dank, herbal, floral, and rye hops with a touch of biscuit malt at the end. Nice dry spiciness to it. The dank note lingers for a long while. Mouth feel is thin and fizzy, but refreshing and nearing a crispy feel. Overall, a good lager with a refreshing quality. Dank notes can't be understated.

Served in a 12oz snifter from a 12oz bottle.

24oz can poured into 12oz tulip. Poured a clean, clear light gold color with just a thin cap of white head that had no retention or lacing.

The aroma was sorta benign, except for sweet corn scent, and a touch of skunk.

On the tongue, the corn and skunk weren't noticeable, but there also weren't any real positive flavor aspects either.

The body was light, crisp, and had a semi-sweet finish, as expected.

Drinkability was fine, for what it is. Overall, eh, whatever. Drink it for the tick, or pass it by. Up to you.

Had on tap. Smooth Mexican beer. Somewhat sweet taste very easy to drink. Have to try it in cans and bottles and see how much difference there is. Would get on tap again. Cheers.

Drank from a 12 ounce bottle. Rating is based on the style.

Look - The foil is annoying to deal with but looks nice. The clear bottle shows off the clear golden liquid inside.

Smell - Slightly hoppy with a strong dank tone. Not great.

Taste - Surprised to find a decent hoppy character with a mild malt backbone. Still not a great taste.

Feel - Not too carbonated, in the pleasant zone. Easy to drink.

Overall - Not the worst drinker, but the foil is a big inconvenience, and the smell is slightly offputting.

Smells of sweet grain and hops. The tall heads quickly fades to a bubbled skin. The copper colored brew has a sharp, soda like carbination. There is a prominate over-cooked hop flavor backed by a slightly metallic bitterness. A touch of sweet grain comes up a bit near the end. The flavor grows a bit astringent as it warms.

Everything you want in a Mexican Ale; light like Alexis Ren after a fresh steam, and crisp like Adriana Lima walkin’ down The catwalk in September. Nowhere near amazing, but I still feel it, ya feel me?
