Modelo Especial

Brewed by Grupo Modelo (Corona)
Style: Pale Lager
México DF, Mexico

Actually, this beer takes more knocks than it deserves. For a pale lager of the light Mexican variety, it is actually pretty good.

corn, water, malt. initial taste cringe worthy but a decent after taste. its like you work for the second half of the beer sip.

Bottle at La Prima Trattoria (new location) Cozumel. 2 for 1 happy hour. The Wife says..." Looks like beer to me" A fair bit maltier than the rest of the Mexican lager Blitzkreig that I have been wholeheartedly participating in for the past two weeks. Light plus body. Lime gives this a proper bitter bite for finish since Hops seem to be a taboo ingredient in the majority of beers in Mexico.

Typical Mexican pale lager with bland taste and not much else. Not half as good as a Negra.

Can. It’s fine, but not very clean. I will put a lime in this one on occasion to make it more tolerable. It’s really messy, even for pale lager. I will still buy it from time to time. i like the can. Thats really all I can say.

Awful corn watery concoction. I had forgotten how bad beer could be. Nasty and cheap. Terrible.

bottle- FIRST DRINK- Watery and skunky. LAST DRINK- One of the worst beers i’ve rated, Watered down like most Mexican beers, only add skunk to the recipe.

Straw yellow with frothy white head. Mild lemon, grain/biscuit aromas. Mild citrus and mild sweet malt flavours. Watery with no bitterness.
