Português : Cerveja clara com pouca espuma, aroma de malte e notas de frutas. O mesmo para o sabor, retorgosto um pouco amargo, boa cerveja.

Bottle. Beautiful lemon yellow, incredibly clear, thin white lather, excellent lace. mild, Honeyed malt nose with grasssy/spicy hop and barest notes of white grape and banana. Light, crackery flavor finishes with a splash of lime juice acidty. Palate is thin and juicy and undercarbonated. Gentle earthy spicy aftertaste. Though by no means a flavorful beer, it is better than average for the uninteresting "pale lager" style... roughly twice a "good" as budmilloors. I was pleasantly surprised.

Pours a transparent dark yellow and highly carbonated. Thin white head. The aroma is that of canned sweet creamed corn. Some candied bananas. Very thin palate. Smooth but the flavor has an off after taste that doesn’t sit well with me.

Bottle. Nose is sweet with hints of grain and bananas. Completely clear yellow with slow rising carbonation up to a thin foamy head that laces surprisingly nicely. The flavor is clean for the most part, some banana and corn. Tingly and thin. Very drinkable with an almost enjoyable flavor.

Ridiculously good beer. Cantillon only wishes they could make a beer like this. Grainy, cooked vegetable smell. Possibly some diacetyl as well. Clear golden body with a 1/2 finger white head that mostly dies. Grainy malt body with a light, stale hop character. Abrasive aftertaste. Light body, watery. Just a bad beer all around. Poor ingredients all around and obviously not a very good brewing process either. Sure, there are worse beers. But this one is still far from good.

A very weak and flavorless beer from Modelo. This is basically the mexican Miller High Life. Decent color and pour, but there is almost no character or complexity to speak of. This is one to pass on. The Negra Modelo is marginally better.

had in the bottle at amego spot in san diego, california.
had no smell to speak of.
taste was lagerish, malt, some hops, touch of citrus

12 oz bottle. Pours clear yellow with a frothy head bright white head. Nothing remarkable or notable about it, perhaps could be served with a citus fruit perhaps to make it better...
