3/22/08 notes: cheap can, tastes a hell of a lot like Tecate crossed with a Coors light. Not to be drank, especially for the import price.

I got a bomber of this at tapwerks in OKC last fall. It was the special. Everything was very average, so that is how I rated. Not half the beer Negra modelo is.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a golden yellow with a small white head, fair lacing. Aroma initially was skunk (thought I had a bad beer) but got better, smells like grain, with a bit a doughy yeast aroma. Light body with an initial sweet aroma, a bit salty, finished somewhat acidic/metallic.

Clear bottle poured a clear gold with a small disapating white head. Aromas of straw, graininess, light citrus and a hint of skunk. Palate was light bodied and crisp. Flavors of light straw, light graininess and hint of citrus with a crisp clean finish.

wow, this is really a terrible beer. I expected slightly better, consider the negra modelo is okay for a mexican beer. Pours flat, mild malt aroma with some skunkiness, malt is even less apparent in the taste.
