Rerate, 330 ml green bottle, from Vaaland, Bryne. ABV is 4.5%. Pale golden colour, moderate white head. The aroma has maize and some fruit, not unpleasant. The flavour is (well, what flavour?) not offensive, at least when the beer is ice cold. Some "freshness" made it quite drinkable with pizza, and if that is your only ambition, it should work well. The beer enthusiast will of course look for more flavourful beers.

I got this at the airport in Acapulco. Pretty red/gold color with a thin head that didn't stick around too long. Light malty and fruity aroma. The flavor was a little surprising, as I tasted some fruit (particularly raspberry) when I had been expecting more of a malty, Vienna-style drink. It was not too far on the fruit beer side though and I didn't find it too bad at all. A little thinner than I normally like but a decent summer beer and a great alternative to the Corona/Modelo crowd if you can find one in Mexico.

Yikes but this is not a very good beer. We had no other option on a Margarita Cruise in Acapulco so I had a few cups of this to verify my dislike. Typical Mexican watered down, yellow, bland crud.

This is pretty much on the same level as Corona, Carta Blanca, Pacifico, etc. Lower than average Lager that seems to be the norm for most Mexican beers. Think I will get a margarita next time.

Not nearly as bad as I was expecting. As far as the Mexican beers I have tried so far, it is not quite as good as Negro Modelo, but is mucho better than Corona, Tecate, etc. Light malt flavor. Aroma is hard to comment on because all I could smell was the lime. All in all I would probably try this again as it went with my enchiladas fairly well.

Virtually non-existent aroma. Hint of rice maybe. Light gold with nice rocky head. Quite bland and thin. Fizzy. Metallic off-taste. Perhaps a citrus flavor settling in towards the end.

The label on the one I has was not so fancy. I don't really feel like coming up with a creative way to describe how bland and typical this Lager is. Suffice it to say that it tastes a lot like the bland and typical Lager from every other country.
