Tecate Michelada Diablo

This is Tecate's take on the Michelada; beer, tomato juice, lime, salt and spices. It is brewed in Monterrey, Mexico.

The beer pours the color of beer cut with tomato juice, not surprisingly. It is very carbonated, with a fizzy head that bubbles quickly away, even before a picture can be taken. The aroma is lager beer and the tang of salt, lime, and tomato juice, all individually discernible. The taste follows the aromas, standard lager, with all the ingredients making their mark, and lightly spicy. The strong carbonation adds a bite that adds to the spicy note. The beer drinks easy and refreshing. It is what it is, sure not fancy, but tasty and refreshing.
