Bottle. Poured golden yellow with medium white head. Aroma of corn. Taste of corn. Just enough hops to make this drinkable. Good with Mexican food.

Bottle. Sweet and malty with some corn. A little skunky with a little more hop bitterness than Corona. Fat bottom bottles are hard to tip over, making them handy as you get really drunk. Washed down Mexican party snacks with ease. Better with a lime wedge in bottle. Oh, I forgot to mention color-piss yellow, of course.

Not a lot of new ground covered with this one, but I do like to grab one when it is hot as hell out, or if I am eating spicy Mexican food. It could be nostagia or maybe I just like the sweet malty taste while eating hot food... I think it is better than Corona but not Sol

Pours a golden yellow. Aroma of corn, grains and some hops with a hoppy flavor and a bit of sweetness detectable on the finish.

Pours a medium golden yellow color. Aromas of hops, grains, and a touch of something fruity. Flavor has a nice hop action going for it, with a cheerios like taste.

Modelo is Mexican for Miller I think. Truly not a good beer. Perhaps with lime and salsa it may be tolerable.

drinkable for a mexican lager. Still has the same off flavor found in all modelo beers, but with a better aroma and even taste of hops. Smoother. The lime also actually adds to the flavor, instead of covering it up.

325ml bottle from Wetherspoons. Golden with thin white head, bit of citric hop, some biscuity malt. Bit thin. Quite good inmouth though but too carbonated. Some citric hop on finish. Better than most golden lagers due to the fact that it makes it into the 2s
