| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 4/5 | 11/20 | Jul 12, 2009 I usually tend not to trust beers from Romance countries or their subsequent colonies, but I’ll take these silly Mexican beers over their shitty American counterparts (Coors, Bud Lite, etc) anyday. While I prefer Modelo Nega to the Especial, the shitty, over-priced liquor store in Broad Ripple only had Especial cold. I bought a 12-pack (extremely over-priced for what I was getting: $12 for the box). It’s not a great beer by any means. The flavor is minimal, which is probably good. It had a smoother taste than most of it’s cheap American counterparts. But it was an easy drink. No kickback, no bite (for better or for worse) and no real lasting impressions. But I did manage to easily get drunk off of these little dudes as I had no problem drinking them in rapid succession. Great beer for casual drinking and adds a superficial ethnic flair to most gatherings. GardenGabe (125), Denver, Colorado, USA

Very similar to its pale Mexican lager brethren, it’s another one best enjoyed on a hot day, otherwise, I’d just grab the Negra version... daniele (1668), Italy
