Modelo Especial (94.6cl, 4.4%)

Modelo Especial is a 4.4% ABV pilsner-style Mexican lager, available here in a 32 oz bottle. First brewed in 1925 in Tacuba, Mexico City, it draws on German brewing traditions. Grupo Modelo founded its brewery in Tacuba in 1925 to create a model beer. The brewers applied traditional pilsner methods to locally sourced water, barley malt, non-malted cereals and hops. The aroma leads with orange blossom honey, followed by a subtle herbal quality from the hops. The taste is smooth, with gentle malt sweetness recalling light honey, balanced hop character and a light body. The finish is crisp and clean, with minimal lingering bitterness and a faint echo of grain and floral honey.
