Not a great beer. Purports to be one of the best beers in the world, introduced to the market in 1966...but I wonder. It doesn’t taste very good, and tends to cost WAY too much in the U.S.

A very weak and flavorless beer from Modelo. This is basically the mexican Miller High Life. Decent color and pour, but there is almost no character or complexity to speak of. This is one to pass on. The Negra Modelo is marginally better.

12 oz bottle. Pours clear yellow with a frothy head bright white head. Nothing remarkable or notable about it, perhaps could be served with a citus fruit perhaps to make it better...

Even if I was in Mexico and there was nohting else to drink, I don’t think I won’t have this one again. I was very boring to drink. As for ingredience, nothing stuck out to me.

Can. Pours clear gold with fair white head. Weak Nose of grain and corn. Flavor is bland and watery. Light fruity aftertaste. I’ll drink it when in Rome...er... Mexico rather.
