Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

(Bottle) Wheaty aroma, but somehow seems a touch off to me. Golden color with big white head that goes away quickly. A little bit on the sweet side for an American wheat. The palate seems a little bit thin, but the amount of carbonation seems about right. This is a good beer for Mexico, but kind of average for its style
Golden/yellow hue. Slightly citrusy and watery. I agree that it is a little budweiser-esque. Not that great. A little too thin on the palate, and the flavor seems a little off to me. Not up to the high level of other casta beers I've tried.
(Bottle) Pours a golden color with a foamy white head. Has a descent wheat and citus flavor. With out a doubt the best Mexican beer I have tasted. In a class by itself.
