Sol (Mexico)

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

Bottled. Pale golden with a small diminishing head. The aroma is weak and grassy, with some hints of hops. Unpleasant, weak flavor with some hops in it (hopoil?). Thin and watery body. This beer isn’t even worth drinking on a hot summer day. (060325)

Fairly good pale lager, which I thought to have its origins in the country of Mexico. Much better than the Corona Extra, surely. It is drinkable and light, but not a beer that you sit down and enjoy, like a real beer nerd (those who hang out on this site),

The best part of this beer how it comes in a clear bottle and a crown cap, these are useful for monitoring the carbonation process in homebrew. Otherwise it smells and tastes like wet field corn and cardboard.

Could have swore I rated this before... yes that’s right when it was listed as Corona. Nuff said.

O.k. this is the same rating as Corona and the same reason. Not a good beer but as a refreshment it’s o.k.. I cannot totaly put it down.

1. Bottle at Sankeys Soap, Manchester 22/02/2003 Clear golden coloured and crisp on the palate. Malty with a dry finish. 2. Bottle at Prohibition, Manchester 22/12/2006 Clear golden coloured and smooth on the palate with a crisp and dry malt finish.

I have to agree with everyone else, very bland, very little flavor, and very watery. It’s only selling point to me is that it would be easy to get drunk off of if you want a beer for that. I wouldn’t order this to enjoy

Bottle. No wonder they usually serve it with a lime. It’s to give it some taste! I guess we could say it’s thirst quenching.
