Bottle: Light in color with little to no head. Nice corn flavor with little taste of anything else. Nice refreshing summer beer. Better than Corona.

Bottle - look of an American Standard, but a touch darker. White head. Some malt and some corn in the aroma, but the aroma is actually quite minimal. The flavor is mild, but good. Almost like Budweiser, but without the skunkiness. No real hops to be found. Mouthfeel is medium to a tad thin. I’m not a real fan of Mexican beers, but getting away from Corona I’m finding that some are passable. This is one of those.

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.
