Alright, so I mentioned that I wasn't able to drink all of the beers that I brought on my trip, but that I had found some other beers to drink as a substitute. This was one of them. Yeah, I know, you'll say that I was better off drinking what I brought, since this could quantify as absolute crap, but the fact of the matter was that I have never had Modelo before, and I was a little limited with my selection. I ended up dining at Vida Cantina. They mainly tout their tequila bar, which has several different brands of tequila. Their draught beers are all native to Mexico, so I could only choose from so much.
So the beer was poured into your standard pint and served with a lime slice. I drank two thirds of the beer without the slice, then added it in to see if I could discern a notable difference. The beer was a nice golden yellow color with a half finger of head that dissipated quickly and left no real traces of lacing. I could detect aromas of corn, grains, other light malts, and some of the lime from the wedge that was on the glass. Not much there otherwise.
I didn't pick up a lot of tastes with this one. Some corn, some malt, some light hop bitterness. Light bodied, lightly carbonated, there wasn't any real complexity that stood out. When I added the lime, it added a twist to it, which I did like a little more, but that doesn't say much when you need outside influences to make the beer taste better. Still, it's better than a Bud Light, but not much better. This is one of those beers I'll only buy again when the selection is limited.
