Carta Blanca

Brewed by FEMSA
Style: Pale Lager
Monterrey/Veracruz-Llave, Mexico

Pours a light amber with a white head and some lacing. Sweet malt aromas. Some corn. Lightly hopped. Very mild flavors of sweet malts. Corn again. Not much hops in the flavor. Pretty average beer.

12 oz bottle, at a chain Mexican restaurant in Rockford, IL. Very pale, corn aroma, some head retention; very sweet to the tongue, weak and light, but not stale and quite drinkable.

Very light color with almost no head. Small bite on the first taste, and very mild flavors. Nothing distinctive, but would go OK with a mexican meal. I guess the most you can say about this beer is that it is better than the U.S macros.

Went well with enchiladas. Smooth taste, has a bite at the end. Not bad, not the greatest.

In the bottle at Cal Taco. Golden in color with a rapidly dissapating head. Surprisingly pronounced lager yeast flavor with a sweet palate. Very little carbonation- almost flat. Not horrible, but not so special either.

Pours a pale yellow with a small white head. Light beer aroma but not much else. Light fruit taste followed by an alcohol backbone. Lightly sweet finish.

Pours a light Amber Colour with little head. Nice yeasty Aroma but just a hint. The Mouthfeel is descent but not full bodied. The Flavour is mostly that of fizzed up water and some malts, little hops, and some yeast thrown in for good measure. The beer has almost no lacing to speak. Overall its a very light beverage albiet with perhaps some alcohol to get you through the sipping. Not my fave not my worst. CHEERS!

Simple, simplistic, not complex, standard, think you might be getting the idea about now. For some reason that is well beyond my grasp, this is not my favorite beer. Nor is it my least favorite. Too simple to be insulting.
