Drank quite a lot of this stuff on a holiday in Cuba. Crystal cleat pale yellow coloured pour with a fleeting effervescent white head. Aroma is grainy with a slight apple notes and plenty a lager yeast character. Palate is pretty abrassive carbonation, light and somewhat refreshing. Flavour is pale grains, some evident adjunct, rice and a semi sweet grain. No hops detected. Some carbonic acid bite in the finish. Pretty clean and inoffesive. Helped me out on the some of the 35C and 100% humidity days. Exactly what i needed.

Poured from 350mL bottle. Clear pale yellow with white head. As soon as the cap was off a skunky aroma wafted from the bottle. Some mild corn malt can be detected through the skunk after poured into a glass. Flavour is quite sweet malty, watery finish.

Can split at Mother Arch with thanks to Fergus for providing me with this country tick, 06/09/14. Clear pale golden with moderate off white spotting. Nose is charged with pale maltings, sugar, straw, cereal, paper, light honey, grain. Taste comprises much the same - not a lot! Light piss, grainy, corn, metallic rinse. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with grassy licks. Meh !

Can sample at a tasting at Beer Market Jaffa. Thanks kerenmk. Clear pale straw-yellow color with a white head. Aroma of grains, hay and corn. Sweetish flavor with graininess, a bit of corn and a slightly bitter finish. Watery.

Tasted at bottle on 04/06/2014. Colour is golden with some bubbles. There’s almost nothing to the smell, just a slight grainy/malty aroma. Very artificial taste, aftertaste and aroma. Next one please!

330 ml bottle. Pours a light yellow with a small, short lived white head. Aroma is light malt, not much else. Flavour has a bit of malt sweetness with a light bitter finish. Light body, watery texture and soft carbonation.

No doubt this will be nice in the hot cuban sun. But apart from that, it is a watery and boring beer.
