Indio

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

Considering that a Google search for ¨Mexican Craft Beer¨ yields a dire paucity of results, I was all geared up for a week of Dos Equis and Negra Modelo. Our hotel bar had three varieties on offer: Sol, Bohemia, and Indio. I knew well enough to stay away from Sol; doing little more than flipping a mental coin I went for the Indio and was more than pleasantly surprised. It´s an almost (almost) alelike darkish lager, smooth and caramelly and malty with a hint of something that reminds me ever-so-slightly of Leffe. I think I´ve found a winner for the week.

This score is based on a warm beer in the Mexican airport. A brown beer with little aroma. The flavor isn’t bad. Mild, it has a nice almost brown ale flavor.

Simply my favorite beer !! Just excellent !! I love its flavor and aroma...

I’ve been meaning to rate Indio for a long time now, but I keep getting so drunk on it that I forget. My last encounter was at the after-party for a Juarez quince on 16 de Septiembre, and, true to form, I got drunk and forgot about it until now. Anyways, this is probably one of my favorite beers, and not just for sentimental reasons; Indio is, by far, the tastiest Mexican pale lager. It’s not only more flavorful than Corona-types, but darker, heavier bodied and without the nasty grassy, corn tastes. Unfortunately, I can usually only find Indio in Mexico.

not the best in taste buts its cheap and popular with my uncles while getting drunk in the mountains of monterrey. drinnk in the company of fun and loud mexicans and you’ll understand. simple dark lager close to a negra.

12 oz. bottle in mexico, one of the few pale mexican lagers that are so popular during cinco de mayo and mexican independence day amongst frat boys that I have not seen in America. Maybe it’s because it’s not in a green bottle... Anyways, Brown-red color with pale head. Fruity aroma reminiscent of an ale. Flavor has that lager bite, but very fruity at the same time with some orange as well. Thin body with little carb. Not bad.

Best dark beer in Mexico, forbidden in some states because can put you violent that were it gets it s name, mexican INDIANS were brave and reckless...

Had this in Cabo San Lucas. I was extremely drunk. It cost a dollar. I had to drink it out of the bottle because I was wandering around downtown. It was pleasant, mildly sweet, somewhat crisp. Reminded me a little of Negra Modello.
