So you have to take the south of the border beers for what they are. Outstanding? No. But with a slice of lime after a day of yard work, pretty gosh darn good. Modelo along with Corona may be the best of the lot. A pale yellow with not much head. And no scent that I can discern. It tastes of straw and grain. Lime saves it. Very slight bitter ending. Toss one down and then drink another. You can do worse.

33cl bottle from Prisma, Tallinn. Pours pale golden with a fast dissipating white head. Grainy and slightly fruity aroma with hints of cooked vegetables. Fairly drinkable when cold, especially next to hot food or possibly in hot weather. Besides that a fairly standard industrial pale lager. Not the worst, but far from the best.
