INDIO es una cerveza de color obscuro con ligeros tonos de dulzor que reducen su nivel de amargor, ya que su sabor único ofrece una combinación muy especial; las características del vigor e intensidad de las cervezas hechas para tierras de clima frío como las europeas, con la frescura y transparencia de las que se acostumbran en países esencialmente cálidos como el nuestro.

I’ve never tried Indio before, it appears to be in line with Dos Equis Amber instead of the multitude of Mexican pale lagers. Good start. I got a lone 12 oz bottle at the nearby HEB as best as I recall. A departure from my usual Mexican beer tasting format, this one is getting opened and poured into a small 10 oz beer glass. It delivers a surprisingly dark red-amber body with an unsurprising, very slim, light tan top. I lift for a sniff, bread with a caramel entry. The unadorned taste is grain, malt, water and toast. I add a squeeze of lime. Definitely an improvement. Same taste, just now with lime. Certainly I would drink again.

From a little supermarket in CDMX: pours amber with off-white head. Aroma is faint caramel and cheap lager smell. Taste is lightly sweet and with bits of caramel. Kind of thin, but quite drinkable.

475 ml can from Mexico. Pours clear amber coloured, almost no head. Corn, caramel, metallic notes. Almost tasteless, some malty sweetness and minimum dryness. Very watery and light bodied, flat carbonated, light dry finish. Not good.

12 oz twist off bottle poured at the resort near Playa Del Carmen. I've been drinking this the last couple days, knowing only that I was having what the resort called "our dark beer.". Assuming it was Dos Equis until they actually brought the bottle out for me to pour myself this go around. Pleasant surprise to get unexpected new ratable beers in u expecting situations. Poured to a mug. Reddish copper pour with plenty of mousse foam head. Pretty typical Mexican dark lager, leading to my initial confusion. Paper grains with a hint of caramel. Lingering paper like flavors. Nothing special with this one, but I'll probably keep drinking them while I'm here

26.03.2018, 12 oz bottle @ Sanchez:
Nice slightly bubbly-creamy mediumlasting head. Aroma is slightly sweet grainy, cereal, light malts, caramel, hay, minerals, paper, grass, hints of butterscotch. Taste is slightly sweet mineraly, cereal, hay, minerals, paper, caramel, grass. Little bitterness, watery and slightly harsh mineraly mouthfeel. Easy drinking, but meh!

Poured from 473mL can. Copper brown with thin off white head. Very light caramel malt, otherwise fairly watery. Still the better macro Mexican option though.

Can [gift from friends, thanks Antonius W. en Suus] @ home. Clear amber to red-brown color, medium to full sized beige head that diminshes very quickly. Very little aroma or flavor other than malty and caramel-ish notes. Light iron in the flavor too. Average body and carbonation. Drinkable, just not a lot of flavors.
