Sol is one of the best tasting Mexican beers, which means it is a worthy opponent for Modelo. Sol has a very similar taste profile to Corona, meaning it is dry and crisp, with a more stable balance between its sweetness and hop bitterness. Modelo is richer and fuller than Sol, with a brilliant corn sweetness balanced by enough hop bitterness.
Both of these beers taste very nice, but Modelo just seems to be a step ahead.
