A golden lager with a thick receding white head. In aroma, an unpleasant mix of corn adjunct and light sulfur, not very nice. In mouth, a light sweet corn malt with light grassy hops, boring and lacking. Bottle from Auto Mercado, San Jose.

Found inside a fridge while investigating a random corner bar in Punteranus, Costa Rica on 29th March 2014. It was drier than it’s stable mates I also tried (Imperial and Silver) and I thought a better thirst quencher with a bit of style to it’s make up. Crisp, bright and clean with a hop bitterness the others failed to have: very little aroma though.

Bottled in Guacimal, Costa Rica. Clear pale golden, mid sized head. Faint aroma of overripe fruits. Sweetish with clean mouthfeel and light-medium body. Butter and faint notes of boiled vegetables. Some spicy hops in a mid bitter finish.
