Most of us have seen Tecate. Most of us have not tasted it, though. It’s the beer in the ugly red can that someone at the table across from you is drinking in the Mexican restaurant.

Negra Modelo is one of the richest tasting, most robust beers in Mexico. A complex beer, redolent with caramel and chocolate flavors from the malt, the beer is perfectly balanced with a bit of spiciness or nuttiness in the hop aspects of its flavor profile.]]> http://briansbelly.com/beer-belly/negra-modelo-best-beer-in-mexico/feed/ 12 http://briansbelly.com/beer-belly/modelo-especial-nothing-especial/ http://briansbelly.com/beer-belly/modelo-especial-nothing-especial/#comments Tue, 31 Mar 2009 00:14:36 +0000 Mark Stevens http://www.briansbelly.com/?p=761 Warning: getimagesize(/beerbelly/beerimages/modeloespecial_logo.gif) [function.getimagesize]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/bach/public_html/wp-content/plugins/rss-image-feed/image-rss.php on line 185

Light and spritzy with just the barest hint of grassy hops and a very slight tingly mineral scent that's probably from the carbonation (carbonic acid). Generally clean with nothing offensive, but neither is there anything enticing.]]> http://briansbelly.com/beer-belly/modelo-especial-nothing-especial/feed/ 6 http://briansbelly.com/beer-belly/dos-equis-amber-first-world-flavor-from-a-third-world-beer/ http://briansbelly.com/beer-belly/dos-equis-amber-first-world-flavor-from-a-third-world-beer/#comments Tue, 31 Mar 2009 00:04:19 +0000 John Carroll http://www.briansbelly.com/?p=759 Warning: getimagesize(/beerbelly/beerimages/dosequis_logo.gif) [function.getimagesize]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/bach/public_html/wp-content/plugins/rss-image-feed/image-rss.php on line 185

Dos Equis Amber is actually classified as a lager, but it has the body and bouquet of a fine amber ale. It's something like a Newcastle Brown Ale mixed with Sam Adams. Most interestingly it seems to have less carbonation and/or gas than your average lager. ]]> http://briansbelly.com/beer-belly/dos-equis-amber-first-world-flavor-from-a-third-world-beer/feed/ 18 http://briansbelly.com/beer-belly/corona-extra/ http://briansbelly.com/beer-belly/corona-extra/#comments Mon, 30 Mar 2009 21:26:14 +0000 Mark Stevens http://www.briansbelly.com/?p=757 Warning: getimagesize(/beerbelly/beerimages/corona_logo.jpg) [function.getimagesize]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/bach/public_html/wp-content/plugins/rss-image-feed/image-rss.php on line 185

A lot of folks who either don't know much about beer, or who don't care much about flavor or the quality of what goes into their mouths, seem to have stuffed the ballot box so to speak, with dozens of glowing reviews of what is, in fact, one of the worst beers brewed in Mexico.]]> http://briansbelly.com/beer-belly/corona-extra/feed/ 2 http://briansbelly.com/beer-belly/carta-blanca-workaday-beer/ http://briansbelly.com/beer-belly/carta-blanca-workaday-beer/#comments Mon, 30 Mar 2009 20:09:41 +0000 Mark Stevens http://www.briansbelly.com/?p=755
This is a very light-bodied American style pale lager (an offshoot of the pilsner style). This is, in my view, probably the blandest, least interesting style of beer on the market, although it probably accounts for 90% of beer sales in the U.S. ]]> http://briansbelly.com/beer-belly/carta-blanca-workaday-beer/feed/ 1
