This does not explicitly say that it is a Mexican lager, but the can has several statements in Spanish on it. So, my guess is that this will be Mexican style, and as we are in much warmer weather as I write this, this'll be about perfect. I like a drinkable beer that has low ABV (this sits at 4.0%) and a smooth nature for when I go for a walk, for a ride, or have to do some yardwork. I want something to fit that bill, and this could be it.
It looks like a lite lager. I noticed when I poured it that it had the 99 calories on the can, so this might be trying to hit a sweet spot between a "premium" lager and a low-calorie one. This says that it is "premium" in larger letters than the word "lager." So, I guess they are proud of it. They also made the number of calories almost unreadable. Either way, the pale yellow beer has a white head that leaves a dusting on top with loads and loads of points of nucleation in the depths. the aroma is very difficult to discern malt.
First sip is exactly what I expected - a vague and light malt with a whole lot of water and a decent amount of carbonation. The malt is hinting at being a bread malt, but there may be some honey competing with it. Overall, the beverage is kind of watery, but that may very well be by design. At 99 calories, the sip is actually pretty good. I didn't expect much for flavor.
Tip-in is shockingly sweet with bread and honey above the rising carbonation. The middle has a serious influx of carbonation above the bread and honey while lemon tries to show up, but the carbonation is a little too furious for it. The finish is a crisp snap that leave a little bitterness on the tongue and sweetness on the lips.
Bottom Line: A very good Mexican lager.
3.75/5
