Mexcellent Cerveza is crystal clear and just the right shade of ripe straw for something advertising itself as a Mexican style lager. The head is bone white, and not overly lasting.
Taking a sniff reveals the obligatory aroma of soda cracker and ripe, pale grain. Nose seems a little thin, lacking the usual scent of sweet corn. Rather, it has the light bodied thinness that reminds me of beers that use rice over corn as an adjunct. Aromas are thin and straightforward, leading straight into a finish that gives me just the barest hint of peppery hops.
Flavors start out rounded up front but all too quickly the body thins out, becoming dry and almost sharp in nature. Mexcellent starts off tasting at once kind of grainy in its malt profile and at the same time, has a generic sweetness to it. Rest of the profile is dry and straightforward in nature.
On the one hand it starts off nicely rounded and does refresh me on a hot day. On the other hand though it's dry and thin and doesn't really taste like anything. And a good lager will have at least some decent flavors to it.

12oz glass at Brewsters Century Park - 'made just like Corona', sez the manager here. Aaaah, the suburban boonies.
This beer appears a clear, shiny pale golden yellow colour, with one skinny finger of weakly foamy and bubbly bone-white head, which leaves a few instances of soap scum lace on the glass as things slowly progress.
It smells of plain bready and crackery Alberta cereal malt, some faint generic dark fruitiness, and equally ephemeral earthy, musty, and dead floral hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy pale malt, a bit of that locker room dank, and more meek leafy, weedy, and musky floral 'hoppiness'.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-tingling frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight (for the style), and generally smooth, with nothing really getting in the way of party time at this particular juncture. It finishes trending dry, the malt losing a lot of proverbial lingering steam.
Overall - yeah, this one is aptly named, in that the clumsy portmanteau kind of works. It does resemble yer typical Mexican lager, to be sure, but falls fully short of being 'excellent'. So, a win, then? I dunno, however the target demo here in Alberta is indeed quite large, and I presume that this is a mainstay for that reason.
