Tecate

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

12 oz. can. Pours a clear, light gold. Very little head. Aroma of corn and wheat. Flavor is a bit metallic, with hints of bready malts.

From a bottle pored clear with a little head. Skunky flavor with a bad finish.

Yikes. Pretty bad. A bland, overcarbonated, fizzy, vegetable-tinged pale apple juice tastin’-ass excuse for a pale lager that’s way too sweet and dirty. There’s something nice in the aftertaste, but it only lasts a second. I’m insulted that my LCBO offers this and so few good imports. Pisswasser.

18 pack for $11.99. That’s really all that needs to be said about this one. I gave it a couple bonus points because I have been to the brewery several times. Nostalgia, and all.

Heavy aftificial carbonatation. Lots of pale white foam that dies a quick death. The head is at least frothy a little. Its a dark straw color with a decent amount of bubbles. It smells like hay or shavings that horse has peed on and tastes practically the same with the strongest flavor coming out being that of corn or some other non-beer cereal grain. Other flavors it has resemble vegetables that have just started to rot. It’s light an watery with no aftertaste, thankfully. One of only 4 beers of hundreds i had to pour the remainder out.

As far as Mexican beers go, this has to be my favorite. Aroma and appearance are pretty weak. Flavor was somewhat remnant of an American domestic beer with a smooth aftertaste. Overall, this is a good cheaper beer that’s really refreshing.

Huge friggin’ 710ml can! Who wants such huge cans of this stuff? Pours a clear pale gold with an average size foamy white head. Aroma’s sweet, sugary and corny along with grain and very light grassy hops. Flavour’s watery with corn, grain, faint grassy hops and a very light bitter finish. Light bodied. Drinkable if you need too, there’s certainly worse out there, but still, it’s not very good is it?

Honestly, I cannot stand this beer. It is the without question the worst Mexican beer out there. I don’t understand how Corona is ranked lower than this beer. The smell is horrible and the taste is virtually non-existent. This beer just makes me mad.
