Copper/amber colour; hints of caramel, fusel alcohol, and toasted grains in the aroma. Lightish malt flavours (bread, crackers) in the palate. Sweetish - maybe 15-18 IBUs. Slight nut and caramel finish.

Part of the appeal of Mexican lager is that it comes from Mexico. The taste does not factor into the equation. Take away the exotic, warm locale, take away the clear glass bottle, and what you have left is imitation piss. Very unpleasant stuff, this.

Sampled at the C'est What Festival of Small Breweries. Orangey-copper; aroma of pumpkin, cinnamon, some malt. Spicy palate, dry finish, touch salty. Also a little hint of earthy malts.

Light bronze colour; palate is mild, with some light malt notes, a faint Continental hop bitterness, which then switches to an English hop finish.

Goldings out the yin-yang, if that's your sort of thing. Me, I live here, and since three quarters of Ontario ales are made with nothing but Goldings, it gets old quickly.

I'm not so huge on fruit beers in general, but this was still disappointing.
