Bohemia Obscura

Brewed by FEMSA

Bottled. An amber beer with a tan head. The aroma is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, and metal, and so is the flavor.

Bottle. [After party @ Papsoe, thanks buddy] Average creamy beige head that mostly lasted. Good display of lacework. Clear flat looking body with an amber color. Aroma of mild toasted malt, hint of cardboard, herbal. Light bodied with an average carbonation and light dry texture. Light sweet and bitter flavor. Light dry and mild bitter finish. 5 / 3 / 5 / 3 / 10

A nice change from all the clear beers down here. The first sip is a shock by comparison. After that it tastes like a malty sweet coke. Lots of caramel and sweetness. Still better than the clear beers.

Bottle in Cancun: Which was labeled as "Bohemia Obscura" Deep bronze color with a foamy off white head. The aroma has some bisquity malt along with some subtle grainy chocolate and tobacco notes. Thin body, yet the flavor has a decent malt back. Actually some roasty caramel and a mild chocolate suggestion. The finish has a metallic bitterness like most mass-produced offerings. However, of all the macro breweries in Mexico I would have to say this one has been the best in terms of it’s offerings.

This is pretty good. Smells good, big head, very creamy. Flavor is light but drinkable, and this may be my new favorite mass Mexican beer. Had in the airport in Mexico City.
