Bottled 600ml. -from the bottle somewhere in Sao Paulo. Sweetish malty, grainy and slight watery with touch of hops. Short finish. Better than other macros but not much.

600cl bottles a gogo in a bar at SP. Contains antioxidants and stabilizers. Appears light yellow with a moderately sustained white head. Light aroma of malts with a heavier presence of grains and adjucts (corn, other unmalted cereals), this is an highly sessionable one. I had like 3 of them, it was appreciable with something to eat. Reminded me of Spanish San Miguel and a bit of Italian Forst. Simple lager, very easy to go, almost couldn’t feel that 5% abv. Extra light body, rather flat taste, moderate carbonation. Plain average, but probably a must here. (20.08.2012)
Update: this seems to be common in central SP, usually served extra cold or below zero, into ice buckets with small "shot" glasses. Description as above, curious vintage design. Possibily this is the best Cerveza you can have during petiscos and local meals. (02.2014)
Update: ok together with serramalte this is the best, and pretty much the standard, of the cerveja here in Itaim area of SP. Price ranges from R$9 to R$12 a bottle. Almost everybody goes with this, and for a good reason, others such as Brahma or Bohemia are just tasteless. Seems to have a myth status here, it just breaks the bank. Can’t compete with european standards, but that’s it.
