Smells like a Mexican beer with hint of sweetness. Nice amber color, a little light for a Vienna lager to me. Nice Mexican beer taste with a little extra roasted sweetness.

Serving Type: 355 mL bottle
L- Pours a light amber colour with a 1/2 fizzy white head. Poor retention.
S- Caramel, slightly cooked vegetable aroma.
T- Light malty flavour, definitely lighter on malt flavour than a lot of vienna lagers. Not a lot of hop flavour.
F- Light body with moderate carbonaton.
O- A fairly decent Mexican thirst quencher, definitely more so than Corona. Not a delicious beer, but no lime needed to mask bad flavours.

Poured into Stein from quart sized bottle, should be fresh, I notice it's a big seller in my area
Awesome dark amber, almost no head
Smell is slightly smoky and very sweet
Surprised by the taste, a slightly light Vienna lager taste, as with the smell, a little smokey and very sweet.
I dislike inbev but I have to admit this beer is moderately impressive

look: 2.25 | smell: 2 | taste: 1.5 | feel: 2 | overall: 1.75
A slight carmelized vegetable aroma and a bubbly head that all but fades away. Its an odd clear, brownish color, like its not sure whether it wants to be a simple lager or a Vienna style. There is a hint of toasted malt hiding in the sour, bitter notes and as the beer goes down a metallic film coates the tongue

12 ounce can poured into a pint glass
Pours a light clear amber color with lots of carbonation, no head or lacing, looks a lot lighter than other vienna lagers I've tasted. Light notes of toffee and caramel along with some grain and corn, toasted malts, touch of spice, no alcohol on the nose. Notes follow nose the toffee, caramel, and corn, light spice-like bitterness, finish has more malts but with the corn lingering in the aftertaste. Light bodied with a good amount of carbonation, finish is clean, crisp, and dry.
Overall, not a great example of a Vienna Lager but its still a Mexican beer that I prefer above others except Negra Modelo, great beer to enjoy while grilling. It smells and tastes a little stale and I suspect it's old as I picked it up off the discontinued rack.
