De Hipercor. En copa Teku. Jugando a Thimbleweed Park. Bastante correcta. El alcohol bien oculto, agradable perfil de galleta con buena sensacion en boca, llenandola y con amargor bien ajustado. Poca espuma

look: 2.5 | smell: 2.75 | taste: 3 | feel: 2.75 | overall: 2.75
Amber color with a thin head with short retention.
Light aroma of caramels, apple puree and cinnamon.
Flavor with notes of caramel malt sweetness, herbal hops, cinnamon, apple puree, some Cointreau liquor and maybe, just maybe red fruits. Dry and bitter aftertaste.
Medium towards full body with appropriate carbonation. Alcohol of 7.5% is relatively well hidden.
Average Maibock, it does fit the style and it is not that of a mild version as it is most of the Tijuana beers.

Reviewed from notes. Poured from bomber into a Cigar City pint glass.

A: Light copper, slight haze, with a small white head and good visible carbonation.

S: Cracker and pilsner malts, fruit-forward yeast esters that almost smell Belgian (apples, bananas and clove).

T: Follows the nose very closely. Malt forward up front - more toasted biscuit malt, less pilsner character. Then Belgian fruity yeastiness (mostly apple, clove, maybe a bit of cherry). Then just a touch of grassy hop bitterness at the swallow.

M: Medium body, carbonation sensation on the low side. The alcohol is more noticeable than usual for a maibock.

O: I don't think this is a very good example of style. However, it's certainly not offensive and stays pretty drinkable. Just taken for what the beer happens to be, it's not half bad.

Poured out a dark gold. OK looking. Smelled like booze and reminded me of malt liquor. Surprised this is 100% malt. Taste was yucky. Just like that. This tastes like malt liquor. Reminds me of Andygator but worse. Mouthfeel is nothing to write home about. Just not feeling this.

This is Mexico's Andygator. Stay away. I normally like Tijuana's beers, but this is not for me.

Little aroma was noticed.
Nice dark amber color with a light tan head. Nice crisp beer.
A little bitterness with a medium roasted malt flavor.
A good bit of carbonation with a pretty good body.
The 7.5 abv isn't very noticable.
Over all a pretty decent beer.

M - Med-light body, good carb and balance.

Although not necessarily the best helles bock the world has ever seen, an absolutely excellent beer to find in macro-centric, flavour-averse Mexico! Gives me hope for the future of Mexican artisanal brewing.

Clear amber with orange highlights, decent carbonation and off-white head. Sweet, single dimensional aroma followed by a much more impressive, multi-layered taste. It's a treat to enjoy caramelized, roasted malts without any corn or other adjuncts!

The 7.5% ABV means this isn't a session beer, but the alcohol warmth morphs nicely into a pleasantly lingering, bitter finish.

Overall a very pleasant surprise and a beer I'd definitely recommend others try.
