Modelo Especial:
Ah hello there, and how are you?  Good? Glad to hear it.  Today I bring you blonde sister of my favorite Mexican beer: Negra Modelo.  Modelo Especial is a this sisters name and comparing it to other Mexican lagers is not even fair to those sad little beers (I’m looking at you Corona).  The beer pours well despite the short, squat bottle and gives off a nose of hops and malts and, if it was possible, crispiness.  There is a slight thin head on the beer that is more watery and for show than anything else.  The beer tastes slightly sweet on the front end but quickly dissipates into a light malt finish that doesn’t  linger too long on the tongue.  This is great find, another option for the Tex-Mex restaurant when ordering a beer  and since I’m doing my best to expand beyond Dos Equis, all the options I can muster, the better.
