Modelo Especial

Brewed by Grupo Modelo (Corona)
Style: Pale Lager
México DF, Mexico

Pretty typical of the other Mexican macro beers. Not awful, but really nothing special...it is what it is...

Bottle from JoeTheYounger.. Thanks for this rare treat Joe!!! Pours a wonderful straw yellow with no head...Smell is of the freshest grass and malts.. Flavor is OMG, pale lager heaven.. Damn I think I might have to cellar one for DLD ’10!!!

Pour form a 12 oz can. Moderate white head that quickly fizzles. Pale yellow color. Aroma is combination of malt with grassy hops. Weak malt flavor with a slight astringent, slightly hoppy finish. Thin and watery mouthfeel with big bubble carbonation. Crisp and refreshing with a bit of character that sets it apart from the pack, if only by a few steps.

Pours pale gold with a 1 finger quickly fading white head. Aroma is sweet malt, a little corn, grass and a little skunkiness. Flavor was about the same. Palate is thin with a watery feel and neutral finish. Overall it’s a mexican pale lager, can’t expect much, but it is better than many that fit that bill.

My first beer on this vacation in mexico. Ordered with ceviche and poured into a frozen mug. Pours straw yellow, almost clear, with a small white sudsy head. No smell hardly at all. Taste is very bland, very watery, but.... ...I kind of love it. It doesnt have anything offensive to it whatsoever. It tastes like beer water, and in the heat of Cabo, I appreciate this beer. I actually like it more than most of the major mexican releases.

This is corona in a fancier package. period. Unfortunately my dad brought it home, so it’s the only beer in the house until this weekend, and I really can’t pass up free beer. I guess if you actually like corona, you would probably like this, I didn’t even know it was made by the same folks, but that makes a lot of sense. Anywho, Cheers!

12 oz. Purchased to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. Didn’t expect good beer and I didn’t get it. Pours piss yellow, no head, no lacing. Smells like skunk mixed with swine flu. Taste is the same. Maybe like watered down Becks. Happy Cinco de Mayo; Mexican beer sucks wangs.

I had a lot of bad experiences with Modelo domestics , i have been reluctant to have this particular one for a long time,regardless i live 50 steps within a Modelo-owned quick store.However yesterday i proved that i was wrong this is a surpringly good brew, quite descent it has that Modelo character that i loathe but just from bad memories,this one its crisp,has plenty of white head, grssy hop bitterness,very noted alcohol its quite low,relatively,and that its pretty much.NICE ONE
