Bottle: This is now the palest yellow color I have ever seen poured. Small white head with a short lifespan. Aroma is initially crisp with bitters and grassiness into a lagery sweetness. Flavor is lager malt with relatively no bitters, really just a slight hint of some hops being in the same room as this beer.

Boy how the label of this and the one from Portugal are the same. Quite confusing. Has a coarse sweet malt liquor alky aroma but under control. Ubiquitous pale yellow american lager appearance. taste is rather unique, it starts off somewhat sweet but has this constant nagging industrial processed aftertaste. Decent carbonation. Does have some attributes that remind me of many central american pale lager brews. Extra Fina it says. Finish is slight alky mixed with odd candy hints. Not bad overall, no cheap corn detected.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of Degarth. Pours a clear, pilsener golden with a small, white head. Lightly sweet malt aroma. Medium body, some lightly sweet malt and then an unclean - very unclean - skunky edge. No bitterness. 180807

12 fl oz. Pours hazy pale yellow with a lacing head. Sweet citric to acidic note. Malty, hay and grassy flavour, slight sweet to medium dry. Finish is dry malty/grassy. Not _so_ bad and another country rating down. Huge thanks to Papsø for putting this on the table!

Bottle. Another wonderful international lager. Umm... well, it’s like most of the best and hopefully not indicative of the best that Peru has to offer. Body is a light gold color that has a one finger high head. Aromas are of apple juice with a touch of corn/oats grain. Flavor is sweet with a grainy finish. Ho hum.

A light yellow beer with a thin white head. The aroma is next to non existing, but there are very faint notes of malt. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel and straw, leading to a dry end. The mouthfeel is very carbonated and watery.
