      Overall Impression
      There's no body label on the bottle. The beer is golden amber, with high carbonation and a thick head. Sweet, malty, and skunky aroma. Light body. Sweet, with lots of DMS. Skunky. Thin and ordinary. Poured it out.

      Appearance (3)
      Bright pale golden. Very high carbonation. Thick foamy head.
      Aroma (2½)
      Mildly floral, very mildly spicy. Very sweet.
      Mouthfeel (7)
      Light body. Moderately fizzy. Quite sweet. Just a hint of noble hop flavor.
      Overall Impression (1½)
      Other than the very mild noble hop flavor, it tastes just like Cerveza Sol.
