Tecate

24 ounce can into lager glass, best before 2/2018. Pours slightly hazy medium golden yellow color with a 1 finger dense and rocky white head with great retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of lemon, cracker, corn, white bread, and mild herbal/grassy earthiness. Poor aromas with pale malt/corn and light earthy hop notes; with minimal strength. A bit too fruity/yeasty. Taste of lemon, cracker, corn, white bread, and mild herbal/grassy earthiness. Mild herbal/grassy/spicy hop bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of lemon, cracker, corn, white bread, and mild herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Solid robustness and good balance of pale malt/corn and light earthy hop flavors; with a nice malt/bitterness balance, and zero cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Nicely clean on lager flavors, not too fruity/yeasty. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and light body; with a very smooth, fairly bready/grainy, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is good. Zero warming as expected of 4.5%. Overall this is an okay pale adjunct lager. Solid robustness and good balance of pale malt/corn and light earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink. Solidly flavorful and not too watery for the ABV. Clean pils malt/grainy corn and mild earthy hop flavors. A fairly enjoyable and non offensive offering.

From old tasting notes. Pale yellow gold. Foamy white head. Light hop aroma. Very light sweet grainy malt flavor. Very little hops in finish.
