My choice for Cinco de Mayo 08 (though didn’t drink it that day). Frankly very lightweight lager. Tastes like watered down Pilsner Urquel, so the base is very good, except for the wateryness.

Dec 3, 2008 Moderate malty aroma. Small frothy, off-white head. Mostly deminishing longevity. Light yellow body. Moderate bitter flavor. Light to medium palate. Watery texture.

Nov 30, 2008 Sampled during Swig-a-Swill Guzzler in St Paul, MN. Pours a clear golden straw brew with a thin white head that quickly disappears clean. Aroma of golden grain malt, corn, some Ivory soap and grassy hops. Taste is light bodied, some carbonation with flavors of golden grain malt, corn and grassy hops. Finish is about as watery as a glass freshly filled from my Culligan dispenser. Typical macro light beer for those 110° F summer days.

Nov 29, 2008 Pours gold with a white head. Smells of caramel, some stray hops, a touch of sweetness. Tastes sweet and light with a dry finish. Goes well with Mexican food. Inoffensive.

Nov 27, 2008 There’s not much to say about this. Pale color, boring macro lager flavor. I simply got it because it was free and there were no good choices, so I figured I’d at least try something new. Blah. I liked the Negra Modelo, so I was hoping this would be better than expected...not really.

Nov 20, 2008 Thin light and watery with the head to match. Light golden color. Has all the makings of a slightly blander version of Corona, with less sweetness and less beer flavoring. Might have been a little better with some salt and a lime perhaps? I don’t know, I don’t give this beer a very high standard, there is nothing special about Modelo Especial. Go for it’s counter part, Modelo Negro.....a lot better!
