November 2008: First beer in my lager reviewing evening (came second out of three for score). Also the first Argie beer I’ve knowingly ever had. Brown 330ml bottle, poured into one of my Veltins Pilsner stemmed glasses. Very pale golden colour with a brilliant white head. Looked crisp and clear, if a little anaemic (anemic in American). OK lager taste, but nothing stood out and grabbed me with this beer. The 4.9% wasn’t to be found either, it wasn’t wishy-washy, but it wasn’t a full bodied little babe you could cuddle up too.

One the sweeter side for a pale lager. Not great but nothing really that offensive.

Rerate from can: Certainly a fresher sample than last time, light grassy hops on a ok grainy body, light restsweetness, ok inoffensive international pils. Bottle. pale yellow, dishwater head Hay aroma, hayish sourness, the barest notion of hops lightbodied "Argentinas favourite beer", come on Argentina you can do better than this!

Grabbed at a grocer in San Juan where there is decdent Argentinian presence it seems based on a few steak houses I spotted. Pours dull with no nose. Tastes of water, corn, grain, metal, and did I say water. Anyways I was dehydrated from day at beach so this alcoholic water didn’t go to waste.

33 cl bottle. Light clear golden with a small white head. Sweet lightly malty aroma. Not much flavour. Drinkable, but far from exiting.

Aroma: 3/10, Appearance: 2/5, Taste: 4/10, Palate: 3/5, Overall: 8/20, MyTotalScore: 2/5
2/IV/2012 - 75cl bottle @ Moo! (London) - BB: 5/I/2013 (2012-314)
Note: lol @ Holy's rating. Totally right, my friend! Another country ticked!
Light yellow beer, small white aery head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: bit yeasty, metallic. MF: ok carbon, light to medium body. Taste: some citrus, bitter hoppy, pretty watery, little sour. Aftertaste: little sour, metallic, slightly bitter. Boring as hell, but it works with a good steak! Did have a bottle of wine after this, though.
