Advantages: Tastes really good on a warm day

Disadvantages: Not always that easy to get hold of

Sol is a light lager brewed in Mexico. Some people I know view this as the cheap alternative to Corona, however I think that this is unfair and this is a great beer in its own right. Personally I prefer Sol to Corona.

Starting off, I have found that I can often pick Sol up pretty cheaply- Aldi sometimes has it at incredible prices. This is obviously a bonus, especially given the economic climate. As for the taste of Sol, I think it tastes great however I think that the taste is probably not up as many peoples street as the taste of Corona is. It is a less accessible taste that takes maybe a bottle or so to get used to.

Like Corona, I like to drink Sol with a lime, however I do find that it still tastes great without a lime which is not so much so the case for Corona. The label on Sol is a very pleasing one if this is something that matters to you, with a sun on it and it is not made of silly paper that easily comes off.

I'm sorry for all the comparisons to Corona, so briefly if you don't know either, then this is a light beer which is pretty cheap and tastes great especially with a lime (in my opinion). If you are not much of a fun of beer then Corona is probably a better bet however if you like your beer, particularly light lagers then definitely give a Sol a try.

Summary: Definitely worth trying
