Pacifico Beer Review

May 12, 2008

For The Brew Club’s last Cinco de Mayo Mexican Beer reviews, I cracked open and tried Pacifico. I’ve heard some good things about Pacifico, and many people rave about it, but like anything else there are those who dislike it and rate it poorly.

Beer it seems, is really a matter or personal preference! To each his (or her) own! Here’s my impressions of Pacifico!

My first impression was very positive. This beer, to me, had a truly distinct smell. At first I thought it was kind of flowery smelling, and then I thought clover for some reason, and then finally it hit me! Honey! This Pacifico beer had a distinct honey smell! Cool!

I was intrigued at this point and didn’t really look at all the clarity and bubbles and the foam produced, I just wanted to taste it! The Pacifico Mexican beer was smooth, and left a nice honey-aftertaste. Some people I spoke to didn’t think it even tasted like beer - I did, it just had this cool honey thing going for it. I liked it a lot!

I would not say that Pacifico is a ‘honey-flavored beer”, even though the color strongly resembles golden-honey,so you don’t have to worry about that. Pacifico does seem to have a bit of sweetness that really sets it apart from other Mexican beers I’ve tried.

Quickly wrapping up this review of Pacifico beer for The Brew CLub, I would definitely try it again, and I would recommend that you try it too if you haven’t. Of the Mexican beers I have tasted and reviewed recently, Pacifico is my favorite, beating out the Negra Modelo as the “Best Mexican Beer” for Cinco de Mayo - or any time you feel like having a quality Mexican beer!
