not great but beats some of the other options (of the same category) available. Ok for "pool" / beach beer.

Bright and light golden color with a thin head with short retention.
Aroma starts similar to an Adjunct Lager, though I understand it uses 100% Barley malt. Hints of lemon, honey, bread malt sweetness and metallic.
Flavor with notes of grainy malt and herbal hops. Dry aftertase with a medium bitterness.
Light body with good carbonation.
Average Pale Lager, not much different than an Adjunct Lager, though it does not neglect hops.

This is the ugliest beer I´ve ever seen, looks weird yellow, not beer like yellow. Smell is appropriate for the style but has a metallic note there. Taste is nice, it rescues how bad it looks.

Clean, light malt peachy smell aroma. Gold color with dusty notes and a decent white head that went quickly away. Starts with a light malt sweetness that is almost immediately balanced by hop. The finish is lightly bitter. Arguably a light pilsener. An okay effort that bests the mass-produced mexican crap.

12 oz. bottle,
A: Pours a deeper gold with a much fuller white head than the Light. Good retention, some lace.
S: Pils type malt, honey and lemon, light hops.
T: Fairly fruity for a pale lager. Notes of orange and honey, lemon hops. Light malt flavour.
M: Light-bodied, fizzy, prickly carbonation.
O: A solid pale lager, I was something with a little more hops and balance.

355ml bottle poured into a 16oz pint glass.
A - Pours with just under a finger of slightly off-white head. Translucent pale yellow in color.
S - Sweet malt and adjunct grain, with something weird that I can't quite identify in the background; but I think it might be beans.
T - Light malt and hops upfront with a really metallic finish. Not exactly a desirable flavor profile off the start. I don't particularly care for the flavor here, but it brings more character to the table than a lot of other lagers I've tried.
M - Surprisingly low carbonation with a medium body to it.
D - After a few other reviewers said they had conflicting ABV listings I decided to check my bottle, only to find that it doesn't state the ABV anywhere on it. The strong metallic aftertaste is also quite unenjoyable. Altogether, this doesn't make for a very good brew.

Thanks to Jacob for another rare lager tick from what I can assume is some incarnation of a dollar store.
A: The pour is a clear straw color with a fizzy white head that dies away quickly.
S: Not a horribly offensive aroma, but not necessarily a good one, either. Pretty watery with some mild grain/malt notes to it and a bit of skunk. This is supposed to be a 100% malt beer, but I can't help but smell corn.
T: Pretty much the same story with the flavor. Watered down for the most part with a bit of grain/malt flavor. Some grassy hops, mild skunk, and an overall pretty bland flavor.
M: Certainly light bodied with a medium level of carbonation.
O: I was expecting worse, but this turned out to be okay. I won't say it was good, or that I'd want to drink it again, but it wasn't offensive.

355ml bottle, weirdly conflicting ABV listings - the back label adds a 3.5% count to the mix.
This beer pours a mildly hazy pale golden colour, with a damned skinny single finger of fizzy white head, which bails in an instant, leaving a few low streaks of lace in its stead. It smells of breakfast cereal grain - toasted corn and Shreddies, along with a bit of weedy, earthy hops. The taste is doughy, cornbread malt, kind of astringently metallic, and somewhat bitter dead flower essence hops. The carbonation is moderate, the body medium weight, a little edgy, but generally smooth. It finishes off-dry, the grainy sweetness getting a strong noogie from the flinty, mineral-esque bio-mass hops.
While clearly the best Mexican lager that I've ever come across, the label claim of being "Craft Beer" may be more indicative of size, rather than outright quality - the metallic off-flavours see to that.
