Cerveza Pacífico Clara, better known as Pacífico, is a Mexican pilsner-style beer. It was first brewed in 1900 when three Germans opened a brewery, the Cerveceria del Pacífico in Mazatlán. Cerveza Pacifico is named so because the Pacifico brewery is located in the Pacific Ocean port city of Mazatlán, in the state of Sinaloa, México. Its label includes a picture depicting a lifesaver encompassing a hill with the port's lighthouse, known locally as "Cerro del Crestón." In Mazatlán, the beer is available in three different size bottles: "cuartitos" (6 fl. oz), "medias" (12 fl. oz.), and "ballenas" (32 fl. oz.). "Clara" means clear, as opposed to "obscura" (dark).

Pacifico and Victoria definitely beat Corona Extra and Cerveza Sol in my book. Tecate and Carta Blanca remain at the back of the pack

Possibly the best of the macro Mexican lager offerings. Receiving an undue amount of hate. Lovely with spicy food and hot weather.

Olhão 10/7 2016. 35,5 cl bottle from Jumbo Supermarket. Very yellow label with all kinds of maritime paraphernalia to assure me that this beer has a solid relation to the pacific.
Pours clear pale yellow with a white head. Settles as a 1 cm thick layer of foam. Enthusiastic carbonation.
Aroma is very sweet with notes of soap and glue. Not especially pleasant.
Strong carbonation and watery palate.
Flavor is heavily sweet without much bitterness.
I imagine that this could be perceived as a pleasure and a relief if you drink it in 42 celcius in the Sun. Otherwise do not bother.

It is currently 75 in Phoenix and the child is playing in the pool, and I am here reading the WSJ and drinking a Pacifico , is it a great beer, not really, it tastes good, has a weird mouth feel, and the smell is average.
But for the afternoon with this perfect in between weather and the feet in the pool and a slight breeze it makes you feel like you are in a bar on the ocean watching the world go by.
So for those days where you have nothing and the weather is nice, perfect beer to have. Otherwise wait until that day comes

This is my go to beer for drinking with Mexican food. It's light, but not "LIGHT." IYKWIM And it helps tame the excessive spice I sometimes have in my food.

As someone who lives in a place that is pretty much always hot, Pacifico slaps every month after February. By itself this goes down quite smooth and doesn’t make you feel like you’ve made some questionable choices in your life as you gulp it down, but adding a lime elevates this to a delightful time. One day i’ll crack one open by the seaside.
