Thnx to Ben ! Pours Cristal (!) clear blonde, small white head. Smell is weak. touch of malts, but not that natural. Taste is bitter, rather intense. Some yeast. no real maltyness. rather chemical, especially the bitterness doesn’t taste right ! it is drinkable though ( very weak, I must say )

Bottle courtesy of Buckeyeboy. True to the South American style, tons of corn sweetness, sticky feel, pale golden body with small foamy head. Not horrible, just kind of bland, and a bit on the sweet side.

Bottle pours out a pale straw topped with a white head. Nose is grain corn and grass. Taste is more of the grain and corn.

Ein weiteres Lagerbier, das sich in den Strom der einfachen Hellen mischt. Man macht nix falsch, bekommt aber auch nix außergewöhnliches.

11.2 oz. bottle. Pale yellow with an initially aggressive fizzy white head. Carbonation quickly dies out. Corn, metallic notes, watery finish.

Admitedly I’ve been spoiled this week with beer, but this is heavily terrible on any metric. Kind of like treated sewer water. Tangy mash white out finish. Reminds me of the polluted river that rolls through Lima. Anything but crystal in any case... Bottle at a Peruvian party.

330ml bottle @ Shrewsbury Beer Share, May 16. Pours pale yellow, thin white head. No real sweetness with faint herbal notes. Safe, boring, uninteresting eurolager.

L’intensità olfattiva è leggera e la persistenza olfattiva è sfuggente. Il gusto al naso rimanda all’orzo. Il cappello di schiuma ha scarsa resistenza, con bollicine medie. La sottostante frizzantezza è data da poche bollicine fini, con carbonazione persistente ed insistita. La consistenza del liquido è limpida. Il colore è giallo dorato. Il corpo è leggero e scorrevole. L’amaro è leggero. L’intensità gustativa è leggera e la persistenza gustativa corta. Le sensazioni boccali finali sono di facile beva. Il finale è pulito, dissetante e semplice. L’aroma in bocca restituisce sentori di pane e orzo.
