Has anyone here tried Modelo? Is it a real beer or just Coors in Spanish?
unfortunately the only reason they need the lime is to kill the taste and add a little flavor. lollike any mexican beer, it needs a lime in it
Negra Modelo is what I'll order in a Mexican restaurant. I'm not as fond of Especial. But that's me.
Find five friends to go in on it with you and give it a try!Sounds like it's not worth wagering $10 on a six pack.
Hazy IPAs and sour beers are not for everybody. The average person is not a brewer or a homebrewer. They haven’t gone through the education - and there is quite a lot whether anybody realizes it or not. They don’t know cascade hops from mosaic and most don’t know the difference between an ale and a lager.I don't get the love affair with Especial, it's very plain jane to me. I'm with you with the Negra which is more akin to what mexican lagers (ie viennas ) are all about. Plus it pairs better with chiles and other herbs and spices in mexican food.
I'm one who likes Modelo Negra but not really fond of Especial - seems like several of the posters here are in that boat. I wonder - are you referring to the Especial or the Negra?logically, in this vain, modelo is just spanish coors, not real beer. ymmv
Negro Modelo is a Vienna Lager. "Dark Lager" is a pretty wide brush stroke to write off in my opinion. It's relatively neutral with a bit of toasted character, not anything like roasty or overly malty.
Untappd and Modelo's website has it as a Munich Dunkel.
Looks good.So you're saying maybe I should give brewing this a shot?

That does look nice. I got worried when I saw "chocolate" until reading "wheat".So you're saying maybe I should give brewing this a shot?

It was on the bjcp guidelines as a Vienna for a while and honestly it wouldn't score well as a Dunkel based on memory but I need to revisit modelo as I haven't had it since cozumel 2008.Untappd and Modelo's website has it as a Munich Dunkel.
I think you are correct, I remember it being called a Vienna lager before.It was on the bjcp guidelines as a Vienna for a while and honestly it wouldn't score well as a Dunkel based on memory but I need to revisit modelo as I haven't had it since cozumel 2008.
I think you guys are thinking Dos Equis amber.I think you are correct, I remember it being called a Vienna lager before.
Yeah, an alternative to buying something they disagreed with and didn't realize that they were giving their money to the same multinational corporation anyway. Also, it's almost always on sale somewhere for about a buck a can if you buy it by the case.Modelo recently took over as the number one seller after the Bud Light publc relations mis-step. First remember those people were buying Bud Light to begin with. And Especial is part of that. Its a well made beer that a large number of people saw as an alternative to buying something they disagreed with.
This is from the 2008 version of BJCP guidelines..I think you guys are thinking Dos Equis amber.
I stand corrected, but.... like the Negra calls itself a Munich Dunkel, Dos Equis Amber calls itself a Vienna Lager - go figure.This is from the 2008 version of BJCP guidelines..
