Negra Modelo (six 12 fl. oz. bottles; $8), Mexico. Reddish brown; fast-disappearing head. Faint fruity aroma, light carbonation, slight caramel taste, not much body.
Leinenkugel's Sunset Wheat (six 12-oz. bottles; $9), Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin . Deep gold with a scant white head; clean, orange-pineapple aroma; lemony, slightly sour, monotone flavor (due in part to coriander); fades but doesn't quite finish.
