16oz can. World Class stuff. What Negra Modelo could be/would be/isn't. Smooth and easy drinking, such finesse with the malts. Caramel-chocolate touched, never goes too deep. It isn't a Vienna. Dark Lager. Body is perfect....as is everything else, couldn't ask for a better example of the style.

Nice standard amber or Vienna Lager color. Smell is very nicely there, too. A bit of graininess, no extra sweetness, but there is indeed some corn in there, too. Taste has plenty of malt and other goodness. Again some grain from malt and maize. Solid caramel malt taste, but countered by dryness from a noble hop load. Only 12 ibu, so the whole beer is relatively light, yet full.
