Sol (Mexico)

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

Clear bottle. Pours a light gold with one finger stark white head and zero lacing. Nose is sweet grass and grains. Taste is bread, honey, grains and light hops before finishing with a syrupy sweet aftertaste. Light mouth feel. I’ve had it with lime before and wish I had some lime to hide the taste this time around. Yuck.

Clear yellow with a bubbly white head. Aroma of processed corn with a metal undertone. Water and malt and a foul after taste. no palate. Needs a lime and a beach and a chiquita.

Pours clear yellow with a fizzy yellow head out of the clear bottle. Corn syrup, metal, and skunk all over the taste and aroma. Stick the lime in and pretend its a Corona, because that’s pretty much what this is.

33cl bottle. It poured a very pale yellow colour with a medium big white head that settled down fast in the glass leaving a thin head. The aroma smells of malts and grass. The flavour tastes of malts and water. It has a short aftertaste.

bottle. golden rays of sun in a bottle. goes down easy and doesn’t taste all that good. at least its free at the hotel or maybe I just don’t understand spanish.

(Sample at September 12, 2008 Beer Club Meeting) Clear yellow color, slow and steady carbonation. All in all, taste isn’t that bad. Light and smooth. Sweet flavor and a little sour of a mouthfeel. Grainy aroma. Good body and flavor. I think I’d go for this before most other Mexican lagers (with the exception of Negra Modelo, of course).

Yellow palate color, no head, no beer aroma, a little hop in deep the flavor is nule but like the water is fresh and light, no taste, ;( this is a beer???
