Chihuahua (Brewery missing) |
Wesi | Comes in a transparent bottle like Corona. Looks and tastes like Corona, which actually means that it looks and tastes like burro-pee. Might become the Corona of the next generation. Don't buy it if you can't get lime as well. The test result depends on your personal estimation of Corona. |
|
Corona (Modelo) |
Wesi | A best-seller world wide. That doesn't make it any better, though. It's not the taste that offends me, but the typical Corona stench of burro pee. Undrinkable without lime. |
|
Corona Light (Modelo) |
Wesi | The only beer in my test which I rated without ever actually trying it. :-). |
|
Cerveza Del Pacifico (Grupo Modelo ) |
Wesi | A true beer. Not yellowish burro pee, not thin and flat like some others. Reminds me of a party in Sayulita, where the locals literally tried to drown me with it. Didn't do no harm, though. I still like Del Pacifico very much. |
|
Tecate (FESMA Brewing) |
Wesi | Thin. American taste made in Mexico. Gulp it down and go get your nickel for the redemption of the can. This way, you'll get at least something rewarding... |
|
Tecate Light (FESMA Brewing) |
Wesi | Don't you dare torturing your poor goldfish with something like that! It must be to a fish like vacuum is to air breathing animals. Thinner than water. |
|
Negra Modelo (Modelo) |
Wesi | An amber brewed by Modelo ? Suspicious... (Modelo is where Corona comes from). But against all odds, this one is truly tasty, creamy, sweet and well balanced. Delicious after a good and rich dinner. |
|
Modelo Especial (Modelo) |
Wesi | Pretty thin, but easy to drink and quite tasty. Kinda like the MGD of Mexico. Not bad. |
|
Dos Equis XX Special Lager (Cerveceria Cuauhtemoc Moctezuma) |
Wesi | A very good, tasty lager. A bit thinner than european lagers, but still with lots more taste than all these watery ones. |
|
Dos Equis XX Draft (Cerveceria Cuauhtemoc Moctezuma) |
Wesi | For a reason unknown to me, the lager on tap is reasonably thinner than the Special Lager sold in bottles. I had them at the same time, so I could compare them quite easyly. Might be an exception - the barkeeper of the particular Cervezeria was looking to me like someone who knows how to increase his profits, grin... |
|
Dos Equis Amber (Cuauhtemoc Moctezuma) |
Wesi | Not really an amber - the only thing amber with it is its transparent amber color, looking like watered cola. A bit thin in taste, not at all like an amber. Not too big a difference to XX Lager. But overall: Try it with some lime, together with some mexican dish - and you'll like it. |
|
Carta Blanca (Moctezuma, Monterrey) |
Wesi | Pretty ordinary, but a good one to try if you get fed up by the Corona and Chihuahua stuff. Normal lager taste, a bit thin, aftertaste a little on the sweet side. Quite decent, as long as you drink it ice cold. |
|
Indio (Cerveceria Cuauhtemoc Moctezuma) |
Wesi | Yack. Something between herb tea and beer. Just weird. I double-checked to make sure sure that it was really labeled "cerveza" and not maybe "shower gel". Don't know where it is made, and neither what it is made of. |
|
Azteca (Tecate / FEMSA) |
Wesi | Look and smell of Corona, but hardly any taste at all. Kinda like "the mother of all light beers", mated with a decent portion of burro pee smell. Not really offending, but hardly something I'd buy again. |
|
Cerveza de barril oscura "Kloster" (Brewery missing) |
Wesi | Hmm. Looks like a health hazard, foam like right from a polluted river or water treatment plant. If it weren't for the typical beer mug (called tarro), it could just as well be a glass of coke, dark and bubbly. Tastes - well - surprisingly decent. Almost no bitterness, smooth if weak malt taste, and a tiny twinge of hoppyness in the aftertaste. |
