Modelo Especial

basically a Mexican beer on steroids. Still pours a light straw color with a weak head, but has more flavor than the regular mexican swills. You MUST drink this with a lime.

12 ounce bottle served up with a pint glass at Sangria’s Mexican Restaurant in Tucker, GA. This was a medium gold in color and had very little carbonation and left no lacing. It had a fruity taste and no aroma that I could detect.

Bottle. I feared the worst with this one, but it wasn’t as bad as I expected. Definitely in the low end of swill, but still drinkable. The two Mexican beers that are somewhat decent are the Negra Modelo and the Dos Equis Amber. All the rest are shithouse, including this one. Perhaps its better in the can, as other raters indicate. Went down easy enough, and would be a welcome thirst quencher on a hot day.

12oz bottle. Pours a bright gold color with a brilliant white fluffy head. Nose is light corn, syrup and honey, grass, overall freshness. Palate is very carbonated and tingly. Note of corn and grass, some light sweetness and a finish of crispness and light bitterness.

(can in Cabo & Manzanillo) Just as lame as any other light Mexican pils. Taste almost like Corona but a tad smoother. Has very little malt flavor or aroma. You can tell corn was used in the mash. No hop flavor as usual. Adding a lime wedge wouldn’t hurt. If Mexican beer had no alcohol, nobody would drink it. Stick to Dos Equis Amber when in Mexico (if you can find it).

Mexican beer, as all reviewers know, is a mostly a pale pilsener-lager hybrid. Most are awful and tasteless. This is next to Pacifico as far as drinkability and enjoyability. Premium and pleasant. Out of the bottle is radically different from the can. Stick to the can.

This beer has a very foul smell out of the bottle. Very watered down light beer, has a bit of a funky aftertaste. The negro is much better.

[Bottle] A beer that they made due to thats all they know to make. The color was to class and stayle and this tasted all right just not my fav. Wish it could have been better. No hop flavor at all. Clear bottle hello do you know what skunks smell like?
