Negra Modelo (Group Modelo)

This mass-produced Mexican beer is one of my go-to Mexican lagers. I enjoy this brew straight from the bottle. Nothing fancy about it, other than it's shiny gold foil.

General Thoughts
Look and Smell: It's dark and smells very malty.

Taste: This is a malty lager that has light hops. More complex than most. It ends with the malt taste. Good standard to accompany a Southwest-style dinner. Malt balances spice.

From the Modelo site:
Negra Modelo, known as the "cream of beers", is a Munich-style beer offering a balanced flavor and delicate aroma of dark malt, caramel and hops. It is the top-selling dark beer in Mexico. It has a bright, dark amber color, topped by a thick creamy foam. Negra Modelo is the ideal beer to accompany any special meal or special occasion. It was first introduced in Mexico as a draft beer in 1926, thus beginning its great tradition in Mexico. 

**Apparently, brewed by Austrian immigrants.
