12oz bottle. Golden in color with active airy bubbles that burst quickly. Mild macro skunk in the aroma & corn. Starts watery & finishes watery with a small nine volt effect on the tongue. Blah tasting like sour apples or something. Last half down the drain. Grupo Modelo down the drain again…

24 oz. can. Poured with almost no head and was completely gone in seconds. I must say it has a slightly better taste than Corona (not saying much). Overall, if last option...drink water.

Canned (710ml). -no alcohol content written on the can
Golden coloured, small airy head, lively carbonation. Faint hoppy and sweet caramelish taste with notes of corn and cardboard. Watery bitter finish. Just another Corona crap.

Can. Large fluffy bubbly head that mostly diminished. Spare lacework. Clear sparkling body with a yellow color. Aroma of cardboard, wet grass, hay and light metallic feel. Over the palate came light malty tones. Light bodied with a light dry and thin texture and average carbonation. Light bitter and sweet flavor. Light dry and bitter finish.

I read the comments on this before before I tried it......Now, for my rating.... Poured a slight dark gold color with head retention that I expected, about the same as other Macro Brews. This actually has a slight aroma that I liked better then Corona, sweet malt, flavor is much the same....except for the obvious corn, but has an ok balance....hops not too obvious but present....This one is not that bad........would drink again if free.....

Had this at a mexican restaurant for first time. It’s even worse than Corona and equally overpriced. Why the fuck would anyone name a beer Modelo? Maybe because it’s modelled after piss?

Had this one at a Mexican restaurant in Arlington, TX (El Chico). It was served in a frosted mug with a salt on the rim and a lime. The salt was totally un-called-for and the mug was so frosted that half way through there was ice floating in the beer. The lime was okay, though. Bright golden color, I could take or leave the taste, it was kind of boring, but would have been good with my fajitas without the salt or ice. 12 oz. bottle.
