Bottle shared with some friends who brought it from Chile. Pours a lovely clear amber to ruby, small head. Aroma is intense caramel malt, burnt sugar, herbal. Medium body. Flavour is malty and sweet, intense caramel and burnt sugar, herbal notes. Nice, closer to a Belgian strong in some regards than a strong ale.

Clean golden-amber colour with a warm frothy, kind of creamy head, long lasting leaving some thick creamy lacing. Fresh IPA hops giving some grassy and spicy notes over caramel malts. The taste is bitter with green leaves, but a herbal balance. Dry finish mouthfeel. Very dry actually. Almost a 5% ABV hopbomb. Gets hazy at last pour. Nice !

4.3% ABV lager in a green 330 ml bottle from the LCBO. Pours a clean golden colour with a slightly creamy warm cap, good stay, leaving creamy lacing. Lightly-sweet cereal malt nose with some decent hops balancing things. Malty taste, but not sweet, nor syrupy, all nicely blended with the hops. Crisp mouthfeel and lightly dry in the finish. Kind of a nice Euro lager that does down nicely.
