Pours a bright golden color that is crystal clear, with a bitterness which is soft to the tongue and nose and an aroma of fresh hops, finishes crisp with light spicy hops. Well balanced and refreshing with perfect levels of malt sweetness, toasted grain and hops, perfect for Aruba’s tropical climate.

Many thanks to kevnic2008 for sharing. Golden colour with a grainy-malty nose. The beer starts neutral-grainy, malty-sweetish and a bit more intense than the "Balashi Chill". Malty-grain is dominating the quite watery picture with hints of a malty sweetness. Easy drinkable and very refreshing. Nearly no bitterness in the end. Nice for what it wants to be.

28/9/2014. Bottle brought back from Aruba by Lyn. Country #111. Pours a pale gold colour with small white head. Aroma was evident as cap was being removed, unusually so for a pale lager, fresh, hoppy, corn and grass. Light bitterness to taste, light body and typically thin texture, average carbonation, with short lasting bitterness to finish. And 16/12/2025. Bottle at The Paddock, Aruba. See photo.

Drank this from the tap in the brewery (but also bottles and canned), though made with filtered seawater not a sign of saltiness. Aroma grain, rice, grassy hops, Colour clear pale golden, minimal white head. Flavour sweetbitter, medium body, thin texture, soft carbonation. Light bitter finish, bit watery, rather smooth, great thirstquencher.

Location: 8 oz can my parents brought me from Aruba, 12/29/13
Aroma: The nose is full of sweet malts, corn, hay, and the rest of what you'd guess
Appearance: Pours a clear gold color without much head or lace to it at all
Flavor: Tastes much the same, sweet malts, corn, and boredom, pretty much what you'd expect
Palate: The body is light, it has an average-to-lively carbonation, and a somewhat thin feel
Overall Impression: I wasn't all that impressed by this one, but I wasn't particularly disappointed either. This beer was basically exactly what I expected it to be.
