Sol (Mexico)

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

It gets hard to even differentiate these macro pale lagers. They are basically all the same. Tecate, Dos Equis, Corona, etc. Differences are minimal. Light golden yellow body with a white head. Not much flavor to speak of. Corn malt base. Slight bitterness. Really needs a lime. Drinkable in 90+ weather by a poolside but thats about it.

Clear bottle. The bottle was from a cardboard case, so it actually wasn’t skunked at all. Of all the shitty session beers I had this afternoon this was by far the least offensive. Really, it was quite quenching, with no off flavors. Interesting.

33 cL clear bottle. Pours yellow with a little crispy and disappearing head. Aroma is corn, hay and straw. Flavour is slight sweet but overall thin. A touch of bitterness in the end. Bland and waterish.

This bier is the average mexican youngster favourite, with its acceptable aroma,mild appareance and a disgussting after-taste,better than Dos Equis but worse than a Red Tecate. VIVA MéXICO CABRONES!!

Had this at a friends barbeque. Out of the bottle some aroma of malt. Flavor is kinda metalic and watery. Had this both with lime and without. Not a great beer by any means but drop a lime in there and this can be a quite refreshing summer beer.

light gold with small cream colored head and medium carbonation and body. citrus malt aroma. mildly bitter with smooth creamy taste with light citrus notes. mellow and fairly balanced an easy drink, pretty good for a mexican beer definitely better than corona

This beer screams summer to me. Stick a lime in it, and drink a lot of them. Tastes better than Corona, but I don’t know why, they taste about the same. Maybe I like the paint on the bottle. Wait Corona bottles are painted too! Anyway, they taste good on a hot day.

Let’s go to Mexico! 12 oz clear bottle. No skunk in this brew, clean and pleasant aroma, perhaps some corn sweetness. Is the color of any other pale yellow american lager beer. Good carbonation on the first drink. The taste is clean and lacks any offensive personality. Almost as easy as tonic, mineral or soda water. I don’t taste much citrus if any, this is just plain old well behaved lager. Cannot taste any alky in there, way to smooth. Probably would drink this anyday for a session. I like the fact that this does not come across as watered down, tho zesty. Finish is a friendly reminder that beer can have ettiquite. If this didn’t cost more that Schmidt’s I’d probably buy it often. Could be a little boring for impy stout and IPA lovers. Otherwise, very enjoyable!
