Sol (Mexico)

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

Can’t think of one positive thing about this, except that the 40 was reletivly cheap. Contrary to the commercial description, the aroma is no exciting. Cool that its different, thats where it ends.

Same trendy put-a-lime-in-your-bottle-so-it-doesn’t-stin beer as Corona. Taste is almost identical, but a bit sweeter and less carbonated.

Bottle. Pours a golden color with a thin white head. Taste is of malt, salt, corn, is slightly sweet and is a little bitter in the finish. Kind of watery, but still tasty. Aroma matches the taste. Pretty easy to drink and is refreshing. Would be nice to have on a hot day. My biggest complaint with this beer is that it is overpriced for what it is. On a side note, I like the bottle label and that it is painted on.

Pale yellow with a modest white head. Mildly sweet, corny with some bitter finish. Not a lot going on here but none of the bad flavors of Corona. Comparable to Miller Lite but with a bit more flavor. For hot day swilling or for people who don’t like beer with real flavor.

Utterly unremarkable unconvincing excuse for a beer. Makes me appreciate my national bulk beers a lot more.

Bottle. Pale yellow. A bit fizzy. Maltyish. Absolute pish. Everything that has been said already about this being shit, i agree. Waste of water.

A crappy version of an already crap beer; Corona. Both beg for lime, but this one needs it direly.

Bottle sample at Toronto’s Festival of Beer 2008. I had this alongside a sample of Des Equis Lager, and honestly couldn’t tell the difference between them. Both were bland and yellow. At least it wasn’t skunky...
