Pacifico

This pale lager is from the Cerveceria Del Pacifico in Mazatlan, Mexico. The beer pours a pale golden yellow in color, like sun-bleached straw. There is a fizzy white head that bubbles away almost faster than I could take a picture of the beer. The aroma is corn, very light straw, a touch sweet, a touch grassy. The taste follows the aromas directly, lots of corn, a touch sweet, like fruit or even candy, but lightly bitter on the finish. There is also a strange wet cardboard taste in the background. It is refreshingly carbonated. I'd rate this beer higher if I was sitting on a beach in Mexico with my toes in El Pacifico.
