Tecate Light

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

It is almost water, but it is ok in flavor. I like it for sunny days and in reunions. BUt it is not like a craft beer. It is good.

This beer is classic in SINALOA, everyone buys it, i realize it does not have a marvelous taste but can get you trough the night, it doesn’t get you very drunk as his sister TECATE RED does.

Free almost 1/2 can sample at the local grocery store. I figured I might as well try it, as I’ll probably never buy this in my lifetime.
Poured moderately yellow with no head. Smell was just light, sweet malt. Taste was like corn, sweet malt, and a hint of bitterness just to keep it real, because that’s how Tecate Light rolls. It really wasn’t that bad for a light beer, and it definitely wasn’t offensive at all. No off flavors and went down like water. Thanks, Tecate light sample hander-outers.

OK, hear me out. This is a great light beer. It’s all I drank last time I was in Mexico. Here’s the thing. It has this subtle taste, almost like a spice, that really turns me on. This is unlike any american macro crap light out there. I can’t explain this!! Is it the mexican water?? Oh fountains of Mexicana, bring life and love and truth to the people. Look at me spouting off about a light beer. This is certainly uncharacteristic. I’m an IPA guy. I love to taste my beers. But please know that I am serious about this 2.5/5 rating. Next time in mexico try a tall boy of this stuff and ruminate about life, and how if only there were boots you could jump to the moon with...

12 oz. bottle from Plaza Liquors - I’m mot quite sure why I bought this beer, but I’ve never seen it before so I grabbed it. 85 cents! Pours a crystal clear light golden color with a 1/2 finger thick white head. Faint spotty lacing. Aroma is very light grain and herbal hops. Flavor is lightly sweetened grain. Light to medium body. Not too bad. Better than Bud.

well, tecate light, the whole can in spainish, the regular is kinda bad but this is better, the taste is watered down which makes it more easy going, a poolside hugger!

From a twist-off 12 oz. bottle with a coded freshness date on shoulder of bottle, sampled at a cold temperature in a restaurant shaker glass. Poured a clear, very pale yellowish golden with a small foamy white head that quickly dissipates into a fine sudsy lacing. A pretty clean nose, faint aromas of sweet corn fruity, lemony, and lightly grainy. Good carbonation and a softly crisp, dryish, thin, medium-light bodied mouthfeel. Bland tasting, but hey, it is a macro light lager, passable drinkability, thin sweet pale, grainy malts, a tad sugary, sweet corny, a very mild lemon tea-like hop flavor, and a dryish sweet malty with a touch rough graininess. For a macro light lager, it’s not that bad, drinkable in a pinch, went well with the chicken tortilla soup I had for lunch today.

Can from Food 4 Less. Light yellow color upon pouring. Acidic grainy aroma. Light grainy flavor with a touch of bitterness. Pretty bland, but at least it isn’t really offensive.
