2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
12 oz bottle. This is my favorite Mexican beer. Poured a clear yellow with a two finger white head. The aroma was grainy, with a bit of corn. The flavor was sweet grains with a grassy finish.
0.9 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 2/20
[330ml bottle at Revolutions, Reading] Managed to avoid getting the obligatory wedge of lime in it, so I could actually taste the beer, even though my gut feel said this was a bad idea. Pours the usual pale gold with a moderate foamy white head, moderate carbonation. As bland as you’d expect - what flavour there is is dominated by sickly sweet candy-sguar and sweetcorn. Some nasty metallics lurking in the background too. I can see why it’s served with the lime. SImply ghastly.
1.7 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Appearance: Pours a clear, bronze-colored body with a tall, white head.
Smell: Grainy, cheap malts with a light waft of skunk and more than a whiff of yellow corn and chemical additives.
Taste: Substandard, stale, grainy light pale malts with a light sweetness. Icky chemical soaked corn. Light hop bitterness. Finishes dry.
Mouthfeel: Thin-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: Dreadful and quite sol-crushing. Some of these mass-produced lagers can be quite serviceable, some just bland and forgettable, and some are downright awful. Sadly, Sol is one of those awful, awful lagers.

Better than I had expected. Probably the best of the cheap Mexican beers I’ve tried.
