Even though I still have over thirty beers to blog about, I will start my blog over with my new beers. The fire sale today is the Negra Modelo, a fairly common Mexican beer, though behind Corona and Dos Equis in preference. It is dark amber to red in color, with a small white head. This is my third beer of the day, so take this into consideration in reading my review. It smells much like a lager on th nose – light in malt and hops. As noted by other beer drinkers, it is much darker than other Mexican beers.
This beer tastes immediately like a mass=produced beer, though not a bad beer. It is somewhat full-flavored, though light. There is a hint of caramel, with a little citrus, maybe lime, on the taste. It is a draft beer, so there is no lime in it to affect the flavor. The malts are nice, especially in comparison to the recent hoppy beers I tasted along with. It starts to develop a bitterness, but not in a typically hoppy manner. It’s bad to give this beer a high-ranking given its mediocrity, but a lighter beer is always a legitimate choice. I would have this beer again just because it is cheap, but overall is it way off-balance. Since my cheap beer preference is Miller Lite, I give this one 4 out of 10.
