3.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
I dont know why it got rated so terribly. Sure it is not an award winning beer but sure as hell beats most mexican beers and is soo easy to drink. When thirsty, Tecate is the next best thing to water for me

12 oz bottle. pours golden with white head. Light and crisp. Could have pounded quite a few of these. Better than I remember from the last time I had it.

UPDATED: MAY 2, 2008 Smells like beer, yeasty, doughy, & a bit grainy. Pours with a pretty ok head but that’s about all it looks like. The taste is fairly standard amongst mexican lager, dry but not without the sweet flavour of corn. Overall it is ok, but certinally not amazing.

Wow... I can’t believe I’m rating Tecate. Although, being one of my favorite of the popular Mexican lagers (this and Dos Equis), this one deserves it. Drank my last one out of a 12oz can last night. Two, really. Too easy to drink an entire 12 ounces and you don’t even realize it. This beer wasn’t brewed to play tricks on your palate or overwhelm your taste buds. It serves really one purpose: to be consumed, and so that you .5 ounces of alcohol per can be downed easily enough, one after the other, to have some effect. Did that make any sense? Cooler than the American lagers, fo sho. It’s always good rebelling by drinking a brew from acros the border. Hey, is it just me, or do most of the higher scores seem to come from the border states?

Bottle. Not as bad as I was expecting, but was by no means impressed. I poured in a glass and drank with some baked ziti. Pretty standard pale lager. The one thing that I liked was that it was not too fruity or sweet.

Tecate is pretty good. Has a decent flavor for a pale mexican lager. Makes a pretty mean fondue.

Actually, as far as canned pale lagers go, this was quite tolerable. Distinctly malty with some corn, refreshing beer with a kiss of hops. it’s okay.
1.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 4/20
Poured a clear, golden color with a frothy white head. The nose was malty sweet, crisp and clean. The taste was sweet with corn with thin malts near the top. The finish was very acidic. The hops fail to give proper balance and in the end its rather astringic. If it doesn’t finish well your not going to go back for another sip. So I won’t.
