Maybe my can was bad, but it smelled very bad. Light color, low head, but would be a great beer to use in a beer bong.

Bottiglia da 33cl, trasparente; posso capire come mai i consumatori la preferiscano in lattina. Versa color giallo scuro con scarsa schiuma e la bottiglia si riempie di bolle saponose; aroma pungente e skunkone, sapore dolce e sbilanciato con qualche nota di gomma bruciata. Corpo acquoso. La mia era 4.5% ABV, però. Non molto diversa dalla Corona, direi.

Not too much to say. Little fragrance with taste to match. Looks crisp though. Heineken, Corona, Moosehead, and the like drinkers would like this one if they were forced to drink it.

(Bottle) Pours a light yellow color, with a white foamy head. Aroma of corn flakes. Taste is similar, with a sweet and syrupy finish. Decent mouthfeel for a pale lager. Not the worst Mexican beer... in fact, it is probably one of the better.

12oz can-pours a dissipating white head and yellow color. Aroma is sweet-grain/corn. Taste is sweet grain/corn, faint hops bite. Light side/thin mouth feel.

Poured like Bud, looked like Bud, tasted sweeter than Bud with a touch more of an after taste. Sort of the Taco Bell of Mexican imports - truth to tell, though, it holds its own against Corona - but priced accordingly...

Not worth typing much about this one. Aroma- barely anything- some adjuncts corn, etc with very light touches of malt. taste is pretty much the same. very watery, I can say it was pretty clean though.

Modelo Especial? Must be French. Clear, golden pour Slight aroma of grain scythed from fields by day laborers. Sweet, sticky aroma. Finish is crisp. This beer is about as bad as the US immigration policy. The only reason I would buy this brew again is if it jumped out of the can and drywalled my basement.
