Sampler. So I get to add the rating that gives this beer a ranking. I feel the weight of both power and responsibility! Here goes: a bit of lace in the glass (in fact, all the samplers I tasted showed good head retention and a bit of lace). Light coriander note as promised, but not too much. Additionally, I detect a slight weizen style banana nose. Pretty good, even though it’s still in the light range.

Sampler. The beer list I brought home doesn’t list this, but as you might guess, it’s a Mexican-style lager. My co-drinker says it reminds him of draft Tecate. I detect a slight Corona style skunk, perhaps intentional. But a good light pils taste. Kind of low on hops, but a lawnmower type with a dry finish. This is what they serve when asked if they have a "light."
