MicroBrew-8: Modelo Cero Dorada tasting in Huatulco Mexico · Brew Tox with Scott & Scott

• 0:01
  Welcome to a special micro brew and tasting from afar that we
• 0:05
  did in Huatulco, Mexico following our large family group
• 0:09
  comparison and review of the three different.
• 0:11
  Coronas Bill. And I sat down with Adam, Brian
• 0:14
  and Jeff to try out another Mexican alcohol free beer,
• 0:18
  Modelo, Cerro Dorado Allison. Well, welcome to this very
• 0:24
  special microbrew. We're still in Mexico, Scott and
• 0:27
  I, and we have family and friends with us.
• 0:32
  Adam, JF and Brian and Dave agreed to test another Mexican
• 0:38
  alcohol free beer. This is the Modello Dorada 0.0
• 0:45
  alcohol free beer. And Scott, why don't you do the
• 0:48
  honors and crack it and we'll get this happening.
• 0:52
  OK, here we go. Excellent.
• 0:58
  So we're going to pour. They will port well.
• 1:03
  A healthy portion for everyone because we've got 2 wonderful
• 1:06
  cans of this Mexican alcohol free beer.
• 1:10
  OK. So as it comes out, what do you
• 1:13
  notice? Looks like any other beer.
• 1:16
  Yeah, it's kind of a nice light amber colour.
• 1:20
  It's got a nice head on it. Thank you.
• 1:22
  Boring that. Yeah, it's interesting that one
• 1:24
  came out with a real good sized head on it and that's not been
• 1:28
  the case with all of the alcohol free beers that reports done.
• 1:31
  Does look pretty good. I now I should say that I did
• 1:34
  have a a modelo. What was it the other day?
• 1:38
  Michelle Modelo especial. Special on the beach and I was
• 1:43
  not impressed at all. In fact, I don't even know if I
• 1:45
  finished it. So I'm coming into this with a
• 1:48
  little bit of bias against Modello.
• 1:50
  So so so we'll see how it goes here.
• 1:53
  OK, alright, have a little bit here.
• 1:55
  Cool. Nice.
• 1:59
  OK. All right, Well, sweet flavor,
• 2:05
  Brian, what do you think? Yeah, it's got a little
• 2:07
  different taste to it. I'm just trying it out now.
• 2:10
  I'm it's, it feels like a light beer, but it is refreshing.
• 2:13
  It's not. Bitter.
• 2:14
  Adam yeah, that's a bit more of a flavorful fragrance when I put
• 2:18
  it up to my mouth and I was expecting it almost like to be a
• 2:22
  little bit more poppier from just the smell or the flavor.
• 2:26
  And then I found it was quite smooth and not as happy as I
• 2:30
  thought my nose was telling me it was going to be.
• 2:33
  Seeing Jeff. Yeah, just very, very smooth.
• 2:37
  Like. Actually, quite likely it's
• 2:41
  disappointingly not cold because we don't have our usual frosty
• 2:47
  glasses that we always do on every Brew Talks episode.
• 2:50
  So we did try to, you know, compensate with putting ice
• 2:55
  cubes in the glasses ahead of time, but it really didn't work.
• 2:58
  It's a little hard to do when you're sitting in 26° weather,
• 3:01
  whatever it is right now, so. Probably 30.
• 3:04
  Yeah, yeah, you're right. Brian probably is 30 still right
• 3:07
  now. So one of the things I've
• 3:08
  noticed though is that the heads totally done at this.
• 3:11
  Point. Yeah, good point.
• 3:12
  Yeah, you know, and that wouldn't happen in a a regular
• 3:17
  beer for sure. Not the amount that you had on
• 3:19
  yours for sure, Adam. I mean, you must have had a good
• 3:21
  3/4 of an. Inch and I'm thinking this is it
• 3:24
  is a logger right? Is it not A Modelo would be a
• 3:28
  logger, Brian, you're kind of you drink, that's what you
• 3:32
  drink, you drink Bud, right so. Yeah, I think it could be a
• 3:35
  longer, it's very likely things. So that's usually a sign of that
• 3:40
  for sure. Yeah.
• 3:42
  Darker beers and other beers usually seem to have a little
• 3:45
  more taste to it, or some kind of something like that along
• 3:49
  those lines. I'm not sure how it worked out.
• 3:53
  And and it's it is a alcohol free one.
• 3:56
  This is truly 0% at least it says on here.
• 3:59
  Yeah. So it's yeah, Modelo 0%.
• 4:02
  So it is it is really a alcohol free beer, not just a non
• 4:05
  alcoholic like the other ones that are 0.5 at home anyway.
• 4:10
  On that turn, Skype. Yeah, we think the calories were
• 4:13
  about 7577 somewhere in that neighborhood.
• 4:17
  Wow. So that's about half of what a
• 4:21
  regular beer would be somewhere in that neighborhood.
• 4:23
  One of the things that's quite interesting is there aren't very
• 4:27
  many alcohol free beers in our exploration.
• 4:30
  Scott and I think we found what, 4 total since we've been here
• 4:33
  and and with Coco and that's about it.
• 4:36
  Yeah, we had the the the Corona Cero that we did a longer
• 4:41
  podcast on with everybody the other night and then they've got
• 4:45
  Heineken ones floating around. Yeah.
• 4:47
  And a did the Takate have a 0 or No, No, no, yeah.
• 4:51
  And the and the Doseki 0 that I did when I was in Palm Desert
• 4:55
  and tried that one. I haven't seen that one here.
• 4:57
  So that might just be me perhaps just for export, I don't know.
• 5:01
  So it was, it was very good though.
• 5:03
  They just said he. Would you order this one, Jeff?
• 5:06
  Like I think it's a good beer when it's still warm
• 5:10
  temperature, something that would that.
• 5:12
  Would drink. Yeah, I'm fine.
• 5:15
  I don't know about you guys, but I I don't feel it has that beer
• 5:19
  flavor. I feel I detect kind of a
• 5:22
  sweetness to it almost. I don't know.
• 5:26
  I remember Adam saying that I'm pretty sure you had a a bit of
• 5:31
  one of these before and that you enjoyed it.
• 5:33
  Yeah, maybe it is the hints of some of those fruity flavors or?
• 5:36
  Something. In it and it is it is light and
• 5:39
  it's drinkable for for summer time, I would say.
• 5:43
  And it's interesting. I'm not quite as encouraged
• 5:46
  about it today, but maybe that's the temperature because I think
• 5:50
  maybe it was a nice and cold when we tried it yesterday.
• 5:53
  You couldn't have an effect on. It.
• 5:55
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. What?
• 5:56
  It was a lot colder because we had it in that bucket of ice
• 5:58
  along with those with the Coronas makes a huge difference.
• 6:01
  This is definitely It's a bit warmer and I I've said this
• 6:05
  before, I hate warm beer, but. And I totally I agree and I'm
• 6:09
  starting to think maybe that's why, because I'm not finding
• 6:11
  this as nice as the other beers. Like I wouldn't want that, but
• 6:15
  maybe because of the warmth that it's not giving me the truth
• 6:18
  here. Beer taste.
• 6:21
  You know, I think that part of it too, for me anyway, is that
• 6:24
  this is a beer that is pretty light.
• 6:27
  I mean, it's almost see through yellow this one.
• 6:30
  Yeah, right. You're right.
• 6:31
  There's not much, not much to it.
• 6:33
  Right. But the one thing that I have
• 6:36
  found in general with our drinking of beer while we've
• 6:39
  been here in Mexico is that they do heat up in a hurry and beer,
• 6:43
  at least the way we like to drink beer, is best served cold,
• 6:46
  right? Could just, you know, kind of
• 6:50
  give it a barely passing grade, right?
• 6:52
  Now. Whereas colder I was kind of
• 6:56
  giving it above a passing grade, sort of.
• 6:58
  Thing I agree I'm not particularly enjoying this.
• 7:01
  It's OK, but I'm like, yeah, you know what it's not it's not
• 7:05
  great. You know to be to be fair, we'd
• 7:08
  have to try it again under maybe different circumstances, right.
• 7:12
  And and give it another whirl. You know, Adam, you had said
• 7:14
  just earlier that might be something we do in the in the
• 7:17
  futures, right. We we kind of choose some beers
• 7:19
  and reevaluate them eventually. And you know, that's certainly
• 7:22
  something we can do right? Try it again and see if it if it
• 7:25
  tastes better the second time around.
• 7:27
  But anyway. Any last thoughts guys?
• 7:30
  No, not no. I'm done with that.
• 7:34
  Yeah, anyway, thanks guys. That was fun.
• 7:37
  Another yet another microbrew here from hell, Tuco, Mexico.
• 7:41
  And, you know, a couple more days here in the hot sun and
• 7:45
  we'll hopefully have some more. Cold beer.
• 7:50
  Everybody. Thank you.
