Pacifico Clara

Brewed by Grupo Modelo (Corona)
Style: Pale Lager
México DF, Mexico

I don’t get it, why is it that almost every mass-produced beer is a pale lager? They’re not that great, and this isn’t a whole lot of an exception, but better than other pale lagers. Somewhat of a metallic taste--some bread and corn tastes as well. It’s good enough to drink for what it is

12 oz bottle. Without much description, its basic macro pale lager taste. Not quite as offensive as other Mexican pale lagers. Truthfully a little better than some of the American macros as well. Tastes of corn and metal.

Many bottles and Cans in Mazatlan, MX. Nose is faint yeast and a little corn sweetness, but very light/subdued. Taste is thin, more of the corn and light malty yesastiness. Crisp and well carbonated. Sure - it’s bland and boring, but there’s really nothing actually wrong with it or offensive about it. I dub thee the best of the Mexican lagers.

12 oz bottle longneck . clear yellow pour, white head. Aroma of pale malts, a touch of swseet corn. Standard. Light flavor of Pale Lager. Crisp and clean, very easy drinking. Ain’t no Bohemia! Not much for flavor, but on a hot day... better than a Corona Extra.

This beer will not rate high on these charts, but it is my favorite of the light Mexican varieties.

My preferred macro beer served at Mexican restaurants. Easy to drink, mixes decently with a lime.

Refrigerated bottle poured into a glass. Pours a clear gold with a little head. The taste is malt (mostly corn) with a hint of yeast. Best Mexican lager I have had.

Clear gold, modest white head. Faint lager aroma, quickly fading. Flavor blends a notable cinnamon heat, which is kind of nice, withe a raw-grain scuzziness, which isn’t. Thin bodied, unclean finish. Not terribly offensive, but for macro lager I’ll stick with PBR.
