Oct 22, 2006 12 oz can: Pours a golden color with a huge white foamy head. Aroma is somewhat malty, corn, wet cardboard, and some spiceiness. Taste is lightly malty, corn, and a metallic note. Palate is watery and everso slightly bitter. Overall, It’s a not so good pale lager that is best served ice cold. It’s rather blah...

Oct 22, 2006 Cold 12oz bottle: Pours a clear dark golden color with a very thin layer of alabaster bubbles. Aroma and taste are of sweet malt, grass, hay, spice and lemon, with subtle hops bitterness well blended. Well carbonated, with a nice mouthfeel. Ending is of citrus and sweet malt. This is a nice lightly aromatic pale lager.

Oct 20, 2006 Aroma is bready with some sweet corn. Flavor is about the same plus lingering breadiness like other mexican lagers, which isnt too bad. More of a pervasive corn bread aftertaste than some regional competitors. Nothing great and not an exceptional value, but decent for what it is.

Oct 15, 2006 First off my bottle was 4.5% not the 6% as listed? so could that explain its utterly taste-less flavour and palate. Had some bad beers but this is one worthy of its minimal piss-poor score.

Oct 2, 2006 Very quick-to-die coarse head. Sort of a dark straw color - a surprising amount of color given what I expected from this. Aroma is nearly non-existent - just a vague cereal-esque hint consisting predominantly of barley. Slight hint of vanilla. No hops character in aroma. Flavor is similarly thin, with only a slight tint of hops bitterness, and a lightly sweet, honey-like finish. I get more vanilla and a huge amount of fizz, making for a sort of cream-soda like experience. Despite all the fizz, it manages to finish quite flat.

Sep 30, 2006 Poured a tan yellow, mith more tint than i expected. Carbonated fizzy head. Dies quickly. Crisp taste. The alcohol makes up for the lack of flavor in the beer. It ends up tasting like harsh hops. Overall not as bad as i expected, but way too pricey at $16 for a 12 pack

Sep 29, 2006 Nice Mexican beer. Squeez a little lime...There ya go! Great in the summertime by the pool or at the lake! My favorite Mexican beer next to Tocate.

Sep 26, 2006 Can from Beerhandy, thanks Chris! Modelo Especial pours a deep shade of yellow, almost golden. Head is short lived, and fizzy white, with tiny bubbles. Aroma is strong fusel oils and corn with boiled cabbage. Tastes of stale corn water, gasoline/oils/chemicals. Pretty boozey for only 6%. Close to to awful, and in the same category as a lot of Steelback products. Thanks Chris!
