Has the amber color that corona lacks. Not much head, which is neither subsatntial or flavorful. Citrus aroma, hoppy, and slight corn. Salinous palate, which is good. Smooth and not overly effervecent. Beer itself if very flavorful and swallows as easy as a cider. Faintly metallic, as is Corona and Modelo Especial. Very decent beer, great with lime or not. Don’t let it get too warm.

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.

Bottle at La Prima Trattoria (new location) Cozumel. 2 for 1 happy hour. The Wife says..." Looks like beer to me" A fair bit maltier than the rest of the Mexican lager Blitzkreig that I have been wholeheartedly participating in for the past two weeks. Light plus body. Lime gives this a proper bitter bite for finish since Hops seem to be a taboo ingredient in the majority of beers in Mexico.

basically a Mexican beer on steroids. Still pours a light straw color with a weak head, but has more flavor than the regular mexican swills. You MUST drink this with a lime.

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

Decent Beer, good for a tallcan choice, overpriced however if you decide to get a 12pack or what not. Good with food.
