The pride of Mexico's dark ales, Negra Modelo is characterized by its smooth texture and full-bodied flavor. Negra Modelo is a perfect example, one of a few remaining examples of an original Vienna lager. The unique flavor of Negra Modelo has led to its being considered as Mexico's "micro brew." Negra Modelo is brewed with levels of carbonation that are higher than lagers, resulting in a rich foam and strong effervescence, but does not have the heaviness and harsh, bitter bite normally associated with dark beers. Its unique flavor makes Negra Modelo a real discovery for consumers. Negra Modelo has 169 calories per 12 ounce serving.

Good carbonation and flavor. Aromas of wheat and corn and a taste of light hops and sweatness.

"Deep copper color. Densely packed aromas of roasted nuts, mocha, and spice. A supple entry leads to a medium-to full-bodied palate with sweet-and-sour dried fruits, caramel covered roasted nuts, and subdued brown spices. Finishes with a nice fade of buttery caramel and pepper. A double distilled style that is nice but a bit shy on wood spice and rusticity." International Review of Spirits Award: Silver Medal

"Brilliant copper color. Rich aromas of chocolate, nuts, and brown spice. A round supple entry leads to a smooth dry medium-bodied palate with brown spices, mineral, toffee, and pepper flavors. Finishes dryly with minerals, wood spice, and light dried fruit notes. A refined, nicely dry, woody VSOP. 88 points" Beverage Testing Institute
