It’s unoffensive, but not something to write your pen pal about. It’s made up of notes of freshly made bread, a bit of skunk, sweet corn, and some floral, earthy hops. On the nose, I found yeasty bread, light skunk, cracker-like malts, and corn. Almost like someone made some kind of corn candy or something else sugary sweet and then let it soak in a beer for whatever reason.Īll in all, this was a pretty awful beer. There was more sweet corn, but it tasted kind of generic. I really tried and I found the faintest hint of sweet corn. This yellow, fizzy beer has little to no aroma on the nose. Keep scrolling to see how everything turned out and whether your favorite beer got praised or dunked on. ![]() Then we blindly nosed and tasted each beer, taking into account the various aromas and flavors (or lack thereof). ![]() This year, instead of simply traipsing through your local beer or grocery store and grabbing whatever Mexican lager you see vibrantly displayed on an end cap, why not journey with us on a tried and true blind taste test? We picked readily available Mexican lagers, pilsners, and lighter-style beers so that the tasting class was as similar as possible. Sure, the “Mexican beer” convo often starts and ends with the wildly popular Corona - but is that brand really the best? Doubtful. And pairing tacos, burritos, and any manner of cheesy, meaty, spicy Mexican foods with a traditional Mexican lager, pilsner, or Vienna-style lager is a no-brainer. Not that we need an excuse to enjoy a crushable, crisp, easy-drinking Mexican beer, but Cinco de Mayo is coming up fast.
