Rich, Malty Negra Modelo is Best Beer in Mexico by Belly Buddy Mark Stevens At A Glance Beer: Negra Modelo Pros: Rich robust malt profile Cons: Anheuser-Busch owns a percentage of Grupo Modelo Recommended: Yes Negra Modelo is one of the richest tasting, most robust beers in Mexico. A complex beer, redolent with caramel and chocolate flavors from the malt, the beer is perfectly balanced with a bit of spiciness or nuttiness in the hop aspects of its flavor profile. The beer is brewed by Grupo Modelo, headquartered in Mexico City, with breweries throughout the country. Style Negra Modelo probably fits most comfortably in the Munich Dunkles category, although I've also heard arguments that it could be considered a Vienna-style amber. I feel that the beer is too black for a Vienna and that it has too much roast malt character to compare well with other Viennas, so I consider it a dunkle. (In some states of the U.S. the beer has the words "dark ale" on the label. This is only due to certain state liquor regulations. The beer is definitely a lager. In fact, Modelo makes no ales.) Sample Conditions I drink this beer frequently in Mexico -- it is my favorite of all Mexican beers. I also buy it often in south Texas where it sells well and is always fresh. I have only sampled bottled versions. Impressions Appearance: Very dark, almost opaque black. Probably about a 20 on the SRM color scale. Very well conditioned, but not excessively gassy. Light, tightly-formed head when poured into a glass. No appearance flaws. Aroma: Nutty and spicy are my initial impressions, followed by a very complex malt aroma with some toasty and chocolate elements. No aroma flaws noted. Flavor: Complex malt flavor hits me right off with lots of the biscuit-like characteristics that I associate with Munich malts. Some chocolate flavors and maybe a hint of dark currant. The malt/hops balance is right on target with a little bit of the spicy character that I associate with european noble hop varieties. The hops are assertive, but never really dominate. There may be just a hint of low diacetyl, which I suspect only because of the full rounded mouthfeel of the beer, not because of any flavor flaw. The beer tastes quite clean. Overall Impression: Negra Modelo is an oustandingly well-crafted beer and is probably the single best beer produced by any mega-brewery on the american continents. (It is certainly head and shoulders over anything in the U.S. or Canada). The quality of this beer can, I think, compare favorably with some of the great lagers of southern Germany. Good stuff!

Do you think they go to the head to take a whizz in the factory? Nope- they whizz right in the vat. Bottoms Up! 10 Cameron» This is the best beer from Mexico. I started drinking this back in 1987 and have been hooked since. Was hard to find in the US back then but now it can be bought most any place. Its bold yet not too bold. Great flavor. Enjoy. 11 skipp» Best beer in North America 11 Sam Eureka» Probably one of the best "drinking" beers. It has a wonderful flavor. Now that Henry's Dark is so crappy Negra Modelo rules dark beers. If Beck's dark didn't come in a green bottle it would almost as good as Negra... buy it by the case and enjoy!!! 10 rokndady» Nice...very smooth and refreshing for a dark beer. Doesn't have the normal "Mexican" flavor. More like a good quality American traditional. 10 JP» had my first sample last night at a mexican restaurant, and I'm sold! Great flavour and I will go for it again. 10 Boozey» Tried it for the firat time after I heard a Mexican friend singing its praises last weekend. Have to say, after the usual Mexican beers; corona, sol etc. it is refreshing to come across a Mexican beer that has a truly individual taste! 8 Scrappy» Picked up a case the other day. Fantastic brew, not the macro-swill that you'd expect from the largest brewery in any country. I strongly recommend it to anyone that likes a good stout but wants to drink all night long. 11 unity mitford» Just had my first, and will definitely be going back for more!
