Tecate

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

it looks like a kid washed there yellow water color brush out in a jar of water and dumped a white head on it. malts with a slight hop bitterness on the nose. thicker than i was expecting and the flavor is better than i was expecting too. watered down hops with some fruity notes.

Pours a clear gold with a thin white head. Aroma is corn and sweet malts. Flavor is lightly malts with corn and sweet spices. It’s smoother drinking than Corona, but that’s about the only selling point.

Sampled from a can at a Bolivian pig roast in Fairfax, VA. Dark golden body, like morning urine with a harsh metallic aroma. Taste is also harsh, with heavy corn tortilla chip taste, water and pencil shavings. This is beer like pizza combos is a meal.

The only way to drink this is from a can, which pours golden with white head. Aroma is sweet malt and corn. Taste is slightly sweet, pretty watery. No lingering flavors. One of the better mexican lagers.

Bottle. You know the Mayans believe that man is made from corn, so I guess that this is kind of appropirate.... Color... adjunct gold with an adjunct white head that dies quickly. Aromas are of sweet adjunct. Flavor is more corn-type sweetness with a little touch of pepper to keep things interesting. Doesn’t really go anywhere in terms of stimulating interest, but isn’t overly off-puttng, either. Viva el maiz!

24 ounce can. I have had Tecate in the past, the very distant past. I knew that I was setting myself up for disappointment. But I broke one of my cardinal rules of beer drinking for another. I allowed "trying to drink native" to trump "don’t drink crap beer if it is the only thing available." I was visiting Eastern Washington, specifically Wapato, which lies on the outskirts of Yakima. I was hoping to find something from Snipes Mountain (Sunnyside) or Iron Horse (Ellensburg) in one of the two local grocery stores. My choices, however, were primarily between American macrobrews or Mexican macrobrews, especially since I was trying to avoid buying a six-pack. I merely wanted a single beer. (That was another error in judgment. I should have bought a six-pack of Negro Modelo and then everything would have been just fine.) I decided to indulge in a Mexican beer in camaraderie with the Yakima Valley’s Hispanic population. I should have just had water with dinner. The pour was champagne yellow with no head. Carbonation was light and lively. The nose was just a whiff of pine and spices. The taste delivered a mildly spicy bite with a faint buttery biscuit background. The palate was watery. It was a "better" version of Budweiser or Coors, but that is not saying much.

Very little aroma, and what there is smells like beer, which I guess is better than old socks!! Pretty deep gold color with a refreshing drinkable taste. Fairly light in flavor, but tastier than the very overrated Corona.

not a bad beer. average at best. i drank this in 32oz bottle form, a good back steps kind of beer, cuz thats where i had it. very social.
