Can. Wegmans. Gold white head. Lime nose, grasses. Lime juice and zest, grasses. Lime is the dominant flavor by far.

12 oz can from who knows where. Pour is a good clean clear pale lager with a decent head. Smell is hints of mild freshly laid asphalt. Interesting olfactory. Taste is friendly with this slight candified lime background, somewhat non-sugared zest actually. Probably could use some carbonation, disappointing in its co2 gusto. Either way, its fairly smooth and easy, good to get away from all that IPA nasty bitter hop bullshit. I like noble hop nobility, thank you. Seems a bit lighter than 5%. To classify this as a flavored fruit is wrong, its just a simple Mexicali lager. Unless, that is, if you want to call corona a fruit beer, heheheh. In the end, this was pretty easy to take; not bad overall. Finishes nicely, but yes; could use more carbonation, especially at the end of the road.

12 ounce can from Festival Northland, 6/6/21. Clear gold, large foamy white head, good retention. Aroma of sweet lime, soap, ale malt. Taste is sweet lime, pale malt. Thin. Not bad but nothing exciting.

Clear gold pour. Aroma is of lime and grainy malt. The flavor is led by lime. There’s also sweet, grainy, biscuit malt. Light body. Refreshing. Decent.

12oz can. Filtered straw yellow body. Foamy white head. Overbearing lime tones, mostly seems artificial/puree. Lacks balance, subtlety, and most other redeeming qualities. I really wish it was just the base lager; it seems like most Mexican lagers I am seeing in 2020 are flavored. Pretty cheesy stuff.
