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

Well its a mexican beer. That means its never too good. and this is holds true as well. Blah Blah Blah. Only good thing about this is that it has more alcohol than most other Blah beers.

Light gold with a white head. There is litte to no aroma, maybe some skunk. Taste is sweet and watery. No body, no taste, no quality.

Essentially the budweiser of mexico. It is not skunky, but it doesn’t have any flavor except for the corn. It is decent to drink as long as you don’t compare it to Dogfish Head.

Bottle. Sour malt aroma with noted skunkiness. Golden yellow with small head. Mild sour malt flavor with a slight sweet finish. Another blah Lager from Grupo Modelo - at least it doesn’t have as much of Corona’s skunkiness.

An average palr lager, but the flavor is a bit richer than most pale lagers I’ve had, still no good, but drinkable, especially with hot foods.
