Draft pour pint at Hop and Hound. Mostly clear pale yellow color with an active fizz head. Corny grain aroma. I like a good Mexican lager for a completely different reason than why I like other beers. It’s good based on one characteristic. Refreshment. They never taste like anything to me, which might be the point. If it can cut the extreme spice that I enjoy in Mexican food, than the rating is good. Unfortunately we never see craft Mexican lagers in the restaurants. I can’t properly rate this on my criteria. I feel like about 4 of these would do the trick, and go down easily. I guess its good. Tough style to rate.

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Hazy blond color. Delicate malt aroma and flavor; it has some subtle sweetness, and fruity hints; correct bitterness but not much hop character.
Compared to typical German Helles, it doesn’t have the malt crispness, not as much dry, and no grassy hops; but it’s a pleasant beer.

On tap at St Augustine's, pours an opaque cloud my amber brown with a medium tan head. Aroma is nearly non-existent, with bready malt. Flavour is astringent, with herbal notes, bready malt and a grassiness on the finish. Not like a helles at all - strange stuff. Okay.
