Negra Modelo

Negra ModeloBeer-a-Day #211

I love the funky bottles Grupo Modelo uses. The label simply says “Dark Beer”, but multiple sources online call it a Munich dunkel. I usually only get to have it out at a Mexican restaurant.

Dark brown with a nice head. Caramel and maybe a little fruit (peaches?) in the aroma. Body is lighter that I would have thought and just the slightest bit astringent. It’s good, though. I could go for some salsa.

Cerveza Pacifica ClaraBeer-a-Day #157

My wife and I had some friends over this evening. With our two kinds of salsa we had salmon cooked on the grill with lemon, vinegar, and cilantro. A light, Mexican beer seemed an appropriate accompaniment. Pacifico fit the bill nicely.

Pale straw with one finger of white head. Little aroma and very, very light taste. If you like Corona Extra this would be a good alternative.
