Golden yellow, small creamy head. Aroma softly hoppy. Watery taste with some hoppiness thrown in. Lame but the worst Mexican "lager".

A light amber beer with no head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of black currants. The flavor is malty and the hops prickles the tongue. The palate is thin.

Good looking beer with typical Pilsner characteristics. Better than Corona, but heemer's got it right about there being better beer in Mexico. Still better than most U.S. macros.

This is better than a Corona, but there are better beers in Mexico. Typical light lager to me (No Vienna Here!). Drinkable.

The best thing going for Corona is it's a pretty beer to look at and you don't have to open it or drink it to get the benefit of looking at it with the nice clear bottle. A real good beer if you like this style I guess, but I'll have a skunked Heineken over this Mexican pipi de caballo any day.
