A pilsener?? Is that a f**king joke? I was excited to find out exactly what style this was listed as, because I couldnt place it to much other than a poor example of a Mexican adjunct lager. It had a pale yellow body, slightly ameliorated by some light orange hues. Disipating head. Clear. Aroma of DMS, quite unmistakeable (old veggies, butterscotch, kind of like candied yams and sweet potatoes). Sour corn, which I find it hard to believe this is not brewed with, despite the commercial descriptions claim of all malt. My notes do speak of hops on the end, so I will give them that one. Just a touch of herbal, grassy bitterness. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not here to trash Mexican corn lagers, I love Modelo Especial, but this one just didnt cut it. DMS aroma, sour corn flavor, horribly watery texture. This kicked off what would be a long streak of terrible beer in TN.

Cancun is a bright, yellow colored beer typical of most Pilsners. The aroma is off a bit, but there is a good hop and malt presence there along with a sharp vinegar aspect to it. The flavor is a light clean sweetness, but a bit more bitterness would really help this Pilsner to suit my palate. But overall, this is a very drinkable Pilsner.
