Pacena

The beer distribution center closest to my house (6 blocks) carries a large collection of South and Central American Beers. I would assume it's because this is the prime cultural make-up of my neighborhood. This gives me the chance to find beers that the other stores don't carry. Beers like Pacena from Bolivia.

Pacena pored a light gold color seen in most of the American macros. The head was probably one of the most amazing I've seen. It stayed above the glass for at least 5 minutes before settling at about to fingers thick. Upon close examination,I found that the beer had a sweet smell with a bit of a bite. Pacena was smooth going down and starting to aquire a sweet aftertaste 20 minutes inot drinking it. Al and All, It wasn't a bad experience. I probably won't be buying it very often,but I really don't have anything negative to say.

Tecate

Being low on cash and feeling kinda trashy after a long day of work,I decided to try something equally as trashy. At least in the appearance department. Tecate is IMPORTED,so I guess it's not too bad(even though it's from Mexico.

Typical American Macro lager. Very little is special about the taste,piss gold in color, and goes down pretty easy without making the gasface. The head was about 2 fingers thick when poured into a pint glass,not that it matters considering this wasn't exactly top shelf. It did taste better than other Mexican cerveza's I've had,namely Corona. I would probably drink it again if the local bodega was out of Yuengling,which is always a possibility. I'll probably drink it again just because it's cheap and highly available and every once in awhile I like to get drunk(not to mention my neighborhood is majority latino).
