Tecate

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

This beer lacks some major flavor, but, i’m pretty sure most of that is due to it’s lack of alcohol, which is pretty weak. This beer is thin, it’s watery, and it taste’s slightly sweet, like honey. It is very similar to drinking light beer, so I can’t even begin to imagine what it’s light counterpart taste like. Anyways, it’s worth drinking, it’s not as bad as people preceive it to be. If it had more alcohol content i’m sure it would be a little more of a favorite.

(500ml can) Purchased from LCBO Rideau in Ottawa for $1.95. Wow... quality comes with value this time ’round. Pours a thin, white frothy head atop a golden body. Decent carbonation. Nose is mildly corny. Flavour has hints of cob. Nothing terribly interesting here other than the price and the prospect of a cheap drunken date. I’d pass on this next time around.

Nothing special in this beer, the classic lager flavour, good for a hot day.

bottle... high class. Smells and tastes like a mexican lager.... hint of malt and not much else. Refreshing on a hot day.

In a can (hell yes). Didn’t bother pouring, because i can see the bottom of the can through the beer. Smells corny, maybe a little weak hop. Has a clean, corny and slightly malty taste, with a hint of bitterness on the aftertaste. Not sure if it’s hops, or the possibly metallic water used to brew this stuff. Clean, lightly carbonated palate, pretty watery, chugs well. Not impressed on the whole, but it’s worth its weight in gold on a hot day in San Diego. Or Vegas.

...can. Well, other than the fact that this stuff is soooo rediculously cheap out west, it’s worthless. Used only to get drunk off a 30 pack for like $10. Pour it in a funnel, add lime to off-set the nasty aftertaste, and you’re good to go. Arrrriba!

A cheap mexican beer. Carbonated water with alcohol thrown in there somewhere. Not bad tasting really, because there is basically no taste to speak of.

Bottle. Pours a clear, light golden yellow with a decent white head that fades away. Aroma is of corn and some malt. Taste is the same and is watery, with some bitterness towards the end. Is a decent beer for what it is, as it is refreshing and easy to drink. However, it is way overpriced for what it is.
