COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Light Modelo, a light lager type beer, was introduced in the domestic market in 1994, when it was considered the appropriate moment to introduce a light beer into the market. In 2002, the name was changed to Modelo Light® and the beer was given a more youthful and attractive image.

Ljusgul i färgen, litet vitt skum. Doftar och smakar vattnigt trist, majs, lite citrus. lätt unken malt. Varför?

12 ounce can bought on the streets of Mexico, aroams of stale hops, light grain, and cereal. Flaovrs are the same, old hops, light and watery. Not bad for $1 price tag.

Douberd (624) - NETHERLANDS - NOV 19, 2012
Reviewed from notes. Can of 355 ml, ABV is only 2.9%.  Colour is golden yellow with a one finger head that disappeared rather quickly. I have yet to find a mexican beer with a head that lasts half a minute. Very bad aroma, I thought I was smelling my feet while I was drinking it. Taste is better but nothing obviously traceable. Really thin on the body with very light carbonation.

Bottle, 355ml. What is there to say? Typical Mexican macro. It isn’t as bad as some to be fair.

Bierkrug (1919) - Idar-Oberstein (In Iraq), Rhineland-Palatinate, GERMANY - SEP 29, 2012
355 ml bottle in New Jersey, Newark Airport. Not much of anything to this "Beer" Weak watery with a very light malt aroma. Beer flavored water. Blah Blah Blah

sawmill2188 (21) - Michigan, USA - JUN 28, 2012
Poor, poor, poor. No flavor at all to distinguish it from other light beer. The color is decent, but I just cannot get past the flavor and aroma. If this is what distinguishes Mexican beer then I’ll gladly stay away.

Backlog Mexico january 2011 Bought/tasted at combined bar/shop The Beer Box in Playa del Carmen, tasted on bottle. Very light industrial pale lager, not impressive

Il y a 2 Modelo Light...Une cannette grise argent de 2.9% et une cannette bleu de 3.7%. Je ne sais pas pourquoi. Couleur jaune or, mousse blanche. En bouche, légère, malt...pour une beer d 2.9%, goute assez. Finale malt. Correct

355ml can. Pale looking medium strength beer with a straw like aroma and a flat watery flavour. Thin in the mouth with not a lot else going on.
