Overall Score: ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆ 3.50 “Get ready for a nonalcoholic experience that steals the color but not the excitement—meet Mexican Style Copper by Athletic Brewing.

Packaging

Let’s get one thing straight: the packaging is a snooze-fest. Pale yellow and bland—nothing about it screams “Mexican” or piques your interest. You’ll be hard-pressed to find any flair here.

Look

At least they get points for the copper color; it’s there and it’s pretty, but it doesn’t exactly pull you in. You might stare and think, “Well, okay, it looks alright.”

Smell

On the nose, it leans toward a bready, malty vibe. It’s warm and inviting, but you might still find yourself wishing for a bit more complexity.

Mouthfeel

When it comes to mouthfeel, it slides down smoothly with a medium carbonation, though it does feel a bit thin—like it’s giggling just beneath the surface, but never fully bursting through.

Taste

The flavor is decent but falls short of excitement. You’ll pick up some bread notes and a faint hint of hops, but the lack of a solid aftertaste leaves you wanting more.

Final Verdict

I can’t claim expertise on Mexican copper beers, but let’s just say this one’s a well-made, if unremarkable, brew. It’s perfect for those who appreciate a gentle sip—just don’t expect fireworks!”
