~16 oz plastic cup draft at Chihuahua Cerveza in Newport Beach, California. The pour is a clear golden with a minimal white head. The aroma is corn grain, along with a bit of grass. The taste is a clean, straight-forward Mexican Lager with the corn clean malt, grass floral softly in the finish. The palate is light to medium bodied with active carbonation and the crisp finish. Worked well with food.

Curious, a Mexican beer brewed in the States. No matter, I enjoy tasting Mexican styles. I have a single 12 oz can picked up yesterday at The Cellar in Odessa. No chance of doing that today, currently 22F deg with a glaze of ice on the roads. But I celebrate the coming summer with El Primero. Flip the top to smell corn or grain or something. A drink following that and the taste is modestly aggressive for a lager. Biscuit, grain, white bread and a definite touch of sweetness. Then I put a wedge of lime in the can, only better now. I estimate it hits in the middle of the style.

Pale golden with a white head - Hints of malts in the aroma - Malt body with hints of hop bitterness - The malt goes into the finish - This was ok

12 oz. can from Total Wine. Pours a clear fizzy light gold color with a tiny white head and poor retention. No lacing. Light grainy citrus aroma. Grainy, mostly flavorless lager with a light diacetyl finish. Watery mouthfeel. There's no bad flavors here, just....nothing. Tick!

19.2 oz can on 28th March 2019, at my daughters in California. Basic Mexican pale lager, slight haze to the gooden body, wispy white head. Sweet and grainy with no real aroma or taste. If this is their 'El Primero' beer I don't want to try their 'El Shitto' one!
