Negra Modelo

      After the Landshark fail I thought I would try some real Mexican beer.  Negra Modelo is a Mexican dark beer which usually means a lighter refreshing dark, not very heavy.  Negra pours out a medium brown and has a honey, light mocha and fresh mild hop nose.  Nice flavor as well. There's a consistent hop all the way through with light mocha, and toffee flavors.  there's some body to this beer, but it's refreshing and easy drinking.  this is a nice summer beach beer.  The perfect dark companion to Sol, my favorite beach beer.  A couple of cases should get you through the rest of the summer  Cheers, drink up my friends.

Sol

Alright, Sol is not a North Carolina beer nor is it from New Belgium, but this is one of my goto beers for the beach or the pool. So let's take a look. Sol is a classic clear gold. The nose is full of citrus tones. The taste is sweet and citrus, with a nice hop tingle in the background throughout. For a lighter style of beer I find it has a lot of flavor. It's just so refreshing, It's a perfect hot weather beer. I also enjoy these with lime, which justs ramps up the citrus and makes it seem even more refreshing. To me this is way better than Corona which is the more popular cerveza in the states. But i believe I'll have to do a head to head to be sure. Look forward to it.
