Review: Why I was served three lime slices with this beer, I'll never know. I didn't use one of them. Dark beers and citrus just don't seem to be a logical pairing to me. I'm no beer sommelier, but I rarely even like limes in lighter Mexican beers.

Modelo Especial is the better of all Mexican beers I have tasted and their dark version is only an improvement. Negra Modelo is a Vienna style Lager with a rich caramel taste and only a subtle kiss of hops. Filled with refreshing carbonation and offering a crisp finish, Negra Modelo may go down in history as being one of the only Mexican beers I actually seek out rather than settle for.

Rating: 4 / 5
