8/10 β€” Appearance 7 Aroma 7 Flavor 8.5 Texture 9 Overall 8.5
16 oz can. Aroma is lime, pickles (??), faint corn. Pours nearly clear pale golden with a one finger off-white head with decent retention. Taste has real hop bitterness backed by a tame bready malt sweetness, finishing very dry; flavors of lime, corn, floral hops, salt. Much fuller body than typical Mexican lagers. Crisp, clean, and extremely refreshing. If all Mexican lagers had this much pleasant hop bitterness, I would drink them more frequently. An awesome lager in every way.

7.6/10 β€” Appearance 10 Aroma 6.5 Flavor 7.5 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
16 oz can. Aroma is chalky, vanilla, overripe citrus peel, alcohol. Pours murky orange with a two finger orange-ish white pillowy head with excellent retention. Taste has a moderate pithy bitterness backed by significant sweetness from the milk sugar, malt and vanilla. First sip is extreme with boozy alcohol seeming over the top initially, but I acclimated to it pretty quickly and really started to enjoy it. It’s a grower *and* a shower.
