Yes they are a few weeks after the test. I'm not sure if it was the Mexican beer or the Topo Chico water. So without further delay the list...
1. Tecate - Described by almost every member as evenly carbonated, smooth start to finish with a decent flavor. "Rico Suave with Miller High Life class". This brew is so good it has its own shoe.
2. Dos XX - Beer has great carbonation...think Miller High Life carbonation with tan, oh and stronger smelling. (note no one mentioned skunk and this was in a green bottle.)
3. Modelo - A light start and with a "slightly bitter" finish. Makes you wish all relationships ended with only a "slightly bitter" finish.
4. Pacifico - A stronger tasting Mexican, but no Zorro. Is there a typical Mexican? This is probably it.
5. Sol - No, wait...this is it. The middle of the road Mexican. It reminded Stout of sweet smelling dishwater.
6. Carta Blanca - Super light flavor with a cotton mouth finish. I think this one actually evaporates on your tongue before you even taste it.
7. Corona - A solid beer that smells like a strong Mexican.
8. Caguama - Comments included; smooth, it's not Mexican, flavorful...in a bad way, and strange or strong, I can't decide.
In all we were somewhat surprised by the results. It seemed that all of these beers are very similar in appearance and with the addition of a lime to mask the flavor they probably all taste very similar. However, by themselves they all seemed to have distinct flavors and vary much more than mass market American Lagers.
YA...the mexicans were REALLY disappointing!!!
ReplyDeletenothing unique, nothing really good.
OKTOBERFEST BEERS ARE NEXT!!!
The very best Mexican, IMHO is Bohemia. Hard to find sometimes, but worth the effort.
ReplyDeleteThe Mexican taste test was not enjoyable. If you have another choice of beer take it. If Mexican is all you can get your hands on than go for it, because bad beer is better than no beer!
