Can. A golden beer with a beige head. The aroma has notes of herbs, alcohol, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of lime, malt, and sugar, leading to a dry finish. Not really a beer.

The mojito version of an already infernal rum-flavoured pale lager, 25 cl (colourless) bottle from the Carrefour supermarket in Lokeren. The ingredients list on the back of the bottle reads like a recipe from hell, including - but not limited to - corn, lime aroma, lemon aroma, mint aroma, hop extract and the old familiar Ace K sweetener. Non-lacing, eggshell-white, moussy ring of a head, immediately opening in the middle but more or less retaining around the edge, over a cristal clear, 'metallic' pale golden beer with no signs of sparkling - or any 'life' whatsoever. Aroma - too expensive a word in this case - of tooth paste, white sugar syrup, cheap industrial lemonade 'à la' Fanta Green Apple, peppermint candy, artificial sweet rum flavouring, some minerals, hint of popcorn and vague aspartame, mint-flavoured bubblegum, vague cooked cloth but absolutely nothing truly 'beery'. Flavour is, if possible, even worse: a lot of sticky white sugar sweetness dominates the whole, but with that wryish chemical aftertaste reminiscent of old school aspartame (the Ace K, clearly), superimposed by a very tooth paste-like artificial 'mintiness', as in industrial peppermint candy, medium carbonated and with a very thin, slick, watery body only thickened by lasting and extremely cloying sweetness; even the corn is hardly noticeable under this assault of tooth paste and aspartame flavours. It doesn't even begin to resemble the lemonade effect we all know and love from similar beers (see Desperados and the like): this abomination remains sickly sweet, overly minty and extremely thinly bodied, with that tooth paste factor strongly returning retronasally. Any bitterness in the finish remains very feeble - and, more importantly, clearly comes from the aspartame and nowise from hops, with a chemical feel to it - but rest assured, it's the sweet-and-minty tooth paste flavour that lingers, while the sweetness clings to the teeth in the same way as some cheap Coca Cola Company product would. Alright, I guess I knew what I had coming, so enough said apart from this: if I ever meet whoever decocted this absolutely abysmal drink that still has the guts to refer to itself as 'beer', I would definitely punch him in the face, the bastard deserves it. Nice way of showing me wrong, though, AB InBev: I honestly thought things could not get worse with the 'regular' Cubanisto - in itself a shameless commercial rip-off of Heineken's Desperados - but this is even worse, I guess this company has no limits (nor shame) when it comes to devising terrible concoctions under the guise of 'beer'. Absolutely vile and unworthy of being consumed by anyone. Who drinks this anyway?

Canned 500ml. -from Geant Albertville. Pale golden coloured, medium sized airy white head, whiff of lime in the nose. Sweetish and pretty artificial mojito taste with notes of mint toothpaste and strong carbonation. Usual crap.
