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).

A faint golden pour, medium carbonation bubbles racing to the top. A rather thin head emerged then ran away. An off centered malt smell to it. A bit of stale floral hops and old socks.
Taste followed the malt, but barely. Actually the taste is rather tasteless. Just leaves a sticky stale aftertaste. However, it's rather unstructured form did drink like water. It went down easy, as long as I didn't think about it.

This beer is the best Mexican macro I’ve ever had.
Look: Clear, light yellow. So-so head.
Smell: A rather robust, crackery aroma accompanies this beer.
Taste: Malty. A hint of watery-ness is present, but is very minimal for a macro-lager.
Feel: Outstanding. Medium-high in mouth, while being light and refreshing.
Overall: Wow, I was very impressed with this beer when I first had it a few years back and my high opinion of it has held up. I would definitely purchase this beer again.

More flavorful malt and hops than a Corona or Victoria while still remaining light and crisp. Bohemia, while malty, tastes like orange blossom water. For the genre, I'd pick this over any other Mexican lager I've tried.

Bottle: Poured a clear golden color lager with a small white foamy head with OK retention. Aroma of light malt notes with some subtle adjunct. Taste is pretty bland with light adjunct and residual sugar notes. Body is light with good carbonation. Boring Mexican lager.

Nothing special compared to other lagers, except for it cost more...

Presentation: 24 ounce can poured into a pint glass.
Look: light golden color. Foamy head that evaporates relatively quickly. Good amount of carbonation.
Smell: sweet malty aroma. Minor citrusy aroma. Minor hops aroma. Aroma is light overall but pleasant.
Taste: sweet malty flavors initially. Bitter, yet crisp aftertaste. Minor hint of citrus flavors. Taste is very nice. More flavorful than I expected.
Feel: smooth mouthfeel. Not creamy but not watery. Something in between.
Overall: this is one of the better Mexican lagers. More complex flavors than other similar beers, but still very drinkable. I was pleasantly surprised by this beer’s unique flavors. I’d highly recommend this beer to anyone who like likes Mexican style lagers but wants something a bit more flavorful.
