![]() It took a lot of sniffing to find anything. There isn’t much going on with this beer’s nose. Part 1: The Taste Taste #1 Christopher Osburn How will your beloved Tecate fare? Or Pacifco? Will a lesser-known brand take the top spot? Let’s find out! For these latest rankings, I hand-selected 10 well-known Mexican beers from my local grocery store for this test, attempting to choose only pilsners and light-colored lagers so they were as similar in style as possible. In honor of the biggest beer buying day of the year, I thought it was time for a tried-and-true blind taste test. By the 1980s, drinks importers were creating entire advertising campaigns based around the holiday, and as of 2013, Americans were buying more beer on Cinco De Mayo than for the Super Bowl or St. Remembered in Puebla ever since, Mexican-American civil rights activists began promoting the day as a source of cultural pride in the 1960s. Frequently confused for Mexico’s Independence Day, which takes place September 16th, Cinco de Mayo commemorates Mexico’s underdog victory over the French empire at the Battle of Puebla, on May 5th, 1862. While we’ve been helping you handle the food and the tequila, I’m going to turn my attention here exclusively to the beer.īefore we dive in, a little background. I don't think Lime is there to improve the taste, I think it's a fad that took off, and it adds a bit more of a zesty citrus element to the beer, furthering the refreshment value.With Cinco de Mayo nearly here, it’s time to get ready for a rush of tequila, burritos as big as your forearm, as many birria tacos as you can eat, and plenty of Mexican beer. Personally, I don't mind lime, but i can drink them without. The only question is to lime, or not to lime. Unlike Budweiser, it's actually got flavour and character, and while it is an adjunct lager, unlike Australian lagers, it's got more refreshment value. They're simple, basic, and refreshing, and sometimes that's all you need and want. Hate me if you must, but there's a reason why they're so popular. A touch watery, and with the high level of carbonation its almost a little soda watery, but it's highly drinkable, sessionable, and refreshing. Tastes refreshing.įeel: Light, refreshing, highly carbonated. Not bitter, but a nice crispness which compliments the malty sweetness. Taste: Bready malt, light hope citrus, slight metallic edge to the beer. Highly carbonated, plenty of champagne-esque bubbles floating to the top of the beer.Īroma:Corn, Grain, Citrus Hop, white bread, This bottle is unskunked. Golden straw, thin soapy white head that disapates to nothing. Best before N/AĪppearance: Classic lager appearance. Purchased at Glenfield Bottleshop, Sydney. Unfortunately due to their popularity, you pay a premium price, for a beer that isn't premium. They are however, extremely overpriced for what they ultimately are. Personally, I find Corona's best drunk just after a day at the beach. Myself, I understand they're not the worlds most flavourful beer, but I can appreciate it for what it is. Either way, like Budweiser it's pretty much polarizing. From Albania to Azerbaijan, Zimbabwe to New Zealand, Corona's are known world over, and it might just be the worlds most popular beer. They may not be fancy, but it does conjure up images of lying on a tropical beach somewhere, not giving a single hoot as you lie in the sun. Anybody who has drunk beer, has drunk a Corona. It might just be the most famous beer in the world.
