33 cL clear bottle. Pours clear and golden yellow. Bitterhops, grainy and light acidic grassy aroma. Thin watery flavour with a little bitterness to the finish. Subdued metallic note. Increasing bitterness in the far finish. Drinkable.

Ass crap. This is a boring and lazy beer. Aroma and taste of metal and seltzer water. Pour was a light gold with a one finger white head. I think the "Yo quiero Taco Bell" dog would run from this. Awful.

Not a great beer. Purports to be one of the best beers in the world, introduced to the market in 1966...but I wonder. It doesn’t taste very good, and tends to cost WAY too much in the U.S.

Similar to “premium” US mass produced beers. I have only drank it in Mexico and everything tastes better on the beach in January.

12 oz can poured into lager glass- poured transparent thin golden yellow, white head quickly disappeared, medium carbonation (tiny bubbles). Aroma of old yellow ear corn and musky oats, ugh. Hits the mouth with a thin body, can taste alot of corn in it, finish is rather inept. Make the bad beer stop, make the bad beer stop!!!

Pours golden, pale yellow, with a 1 inch quickly thinning, white heat that settle to a film. Pretty bubbling. Has a small white top. Smells like sweet grain with a decent bittering, hop aroma presence. Tastes like thick, corn malt, and some cleaning agent? Bland finish. A little thick for a ale lager, doncha think?

I work for a municipality where we have a lot of Mexican events (rodeos, dances, etc..). I see a lot of people drinking Modelo. A co-worker said it was good stuff, and that’s why we saw so many Latinos drinking it instead of Tacate or Carona. Well, tonight my son left a 6 pack of it in our fridge. I don’t know what my co-worker was on! This stuff sucks! Pours a piss yellow with no head. Smells like cheap malt liquor: corn water and syrup. Weak watered down flavor. What little flavor there is is really bad. Like rotting fruit. Some bitter after-taste, but not in a good way. I probably won’t be finishing the rest of these. Blech!
