Negra Modelo
Modelo Negra was the first beer served when Cervecería Modelo opened in 1925, and the brewery describes it as a Munich Dunkel-style lager given a longer brewing time. It is made from water, barley malt, non-malted cereals and hops and pours a bright, deep amber. Dark malt and caramel lead the aroma, with a light hop note behind. The medium body carries toasted grain, caramel and a hint of nuts, and the finish is smooth and fairly short, with little bitterness.
