33cl bottle from Appellation Wines. Pours golden, gentle bubbles, not much head. Nose of pale malt, sweetcorn, some honey and a hint of lemon. Taste of honey and sweetcorn again, some herby and metallic notes on the end. Palate is light to medium bodied, light textured, not as clean as it should be on the finish. Overall, a typical mass produced lager, single dimensional really - makes Tennents look complex!

Rather dull looking label, claims to be Argentina’s number 1 beer which I have no difficulty whatsoever believing Appearance-wise this is a complete train wreck, terribly unappealing palest imaginable golden I have ever seen in a beer, quite crystal indeed, small synthetic head that quickly disappears Smells mainly of sweet corn, some grain & light touch of floral but very corn sweet Taste is lots of sweet corn, very heavy on corn syrup, touch apple juice, sweet grains, lightly metallic & hint of hops in the back Light, the corn syrup feels a bit sticky & odd It could have been worse for a South American popular macro pale lager, went ok with the spicy food, too much corn & almost hard to identify with as a beer for me (33 cl. bottle @ Argentinean restaurant // in a Maes glass)

Another from the chronicles of Central American Lager fest this weekend. Thanks to Roswell the Dog for bringing this back and sharing. Pours a clear golden straw color with a smallish white head that dissipates quickly in the July sun. Smells malty sweet and lightly grainy with the faintest of floral hops to provide a hint of balance. The flavor is what I expected, a bit sweet hints of honey almost no hop flavor. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and a sweet grainy mouthfeel. Feels like a light lager, taste like a light lager but really went down easy on a sunny 85 degree day. Not something I’d ever seek out, but glad I got to try it.

Bottle. Pours pale yellow clear with a large fizzy white head that leaves some lacing. Aroma is of corn, grass and a touch of urine. Flavor is mildly sweet corn, slightly floral, finishing lightly bitter.
