Sol (Mexico)

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

yes this beer is lacking in all departments, but it ain’t that bad at all... it is one of the better mexican beers, ...lower better beers....ok its bad but better than carta blanca and that other cheap crappy one.

I agree with others that give it a slight bump with Mexican food that covers a bit of the off taste of this beer. Thin and refreshing, don’t let it warm up too much. We had this one in Veracruz, Mexico.

12 oz. bottle. This is a beer that pairs very well with spicy Mexican food. If I were having this beer by itself, I definitely would have rated it lower. Pours a pale crystal clear yellow/gold with a thin white head. Very light aroma of malt. Flavor is lightly touched with sweet malt. Thin body, but again, very refreshing when putting out the fire of a spicy Mexican meal. If given the coice between this brew and a Corona, I would pick Sol quite easily.

Tap/bottle/can. Refreshing beer on a Mexican hot day. Sold up and down the Mayan coast. Closer to Corona than Modelo. Like all Mexican beer it’s better w/out lime.

Cold 12oz bottle at La Caretta: Pours a clear golden color with a very little amount of ivory bubbles. Aroma and taste are of sweet malts, grass and citrus. Crisp and refreshing. Thin body and good carbonation. Usually served with a lime wedge.

I have a special love for Mexico in general, which includes especially its equisite food and light beer, as well as its culture, history, language and movies, to name a few things. Sol is not an exception, especially accompanied with Mexican tasty and spicy food, it’s just about the best there is. :)

These Mexican beers use non-light stable hops and come in these clear bottles, which make hesitant when I pick up a glass of Sol or Corona for that first sip. No head, no lacing. Beer is amber-ish yellow. Taste is slightly sweet and not great but totally inoffensive. For what it’s worth, this stuff is actually pretty drinkable.

Pretty poor fair. A light colour, but strange peppery taste that wasn’t pleasant (still evident with lime). The worst of the mainstream Mexican lagers.
