Sol (Mexico)

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

This beer has a low taste flavor and aroma, i find it lower than medium tasteful!

Bottle. This one comes from brewery Cuachtemoc Moctezuma, so normally it should be a better one than a Modelo-beer (Corona, Estrella). It’s a light yellow, light hazy beer with some bubbles and a meadium white head that surprisingly lasts. The aroma is unnoticeable: I don’t find any smell in the beer, or with some efforts a light grainy note. The taste is better: a full, grainy taste, enjoyable, agreeable, light watery after a while and not much finish in it.

Very much like the other crevezas I’ve had from Mexico. Pours clean to a small, white head. Taste doesn’t overpower and goes down smooth. Color is light, golden. Taste enhanced by adding a slice of lime.

340mL can. Bright yellow pour. White foam. Aroma of bread, cereal. Flavor of straw. Sticky mouthfeel. Light carbonation. Very refreshing. Average malt complexity and mild hop leaves this beer light bodied and well balanced. It’s alright.

bottle. Poured pale yellow with a thin white head. Light malty-corn aroma. Light dry mouthfeel. More malt and corn flavour. Finishes clean.

My brother was making carne asada and offered this up. Pours a straw golden with white head. Aroma of citrus and light grains with just a hint of skunk. Light bodied with average carbonation. Typical adjuct lager, but nothing really offensive. Just a sweet corny beverage with no bitterness and clean finish. Better than Corona and tolerable lawn mower beer if thats your thing.

[Bottle] Pours a light yellow color with a fizzy white head. Light aroma of grain and some skunk as well. Same flavor, with light grains and unappealing corn syrup aftertaste.

Not Mexico’s best, but slightly better than Corona and the label is quite attractive. Colour is almost urine-like and the head is weak. Aroma is detectable but nothing more. Taste is clean and fresh, but nothing more.
