- Pour: The Que Rico Amber Mexican Lager pours a deep mahogany red hue with a bubbly off-white head that dissipates fairly quickly, leaving a thin ring with very light lacing.
- Nose: The nose is malty, grainy, lightly fruity, and slightly sweet. There are aromas of corn chips, light lime peel, crackery biscuit, an incredibly subtle hint of raisin, and a very subtle hint of cocoa.
- Taste: The taste of the Que Rico follows the nose with well-balanced flavors of sweet grains, light spice, a hint of fruit, and light, bready malts. There are notes of freshly baked corn bread, crackery biscuit, very light cocoa, a hint of lime, and a hint of pepper.
- Mouthfeel: Light to light-medium in body with moderate carbonation, the mouthfeel is very smooth with very low bitterness and a clean, crisp finish.
