Poured from 500mL can @ ABC bottle share. Lightly hazed blonde with minimal white head. Passionfruit, seems like a bit of a dirty rice lager base, but don't think I'm quite identifying that correctly, okay.

Good smell that's a mix of coffee and soya sauce, and even when combined they're still appealing. Has nice foam and a good black body. Flavour is nice crisp coffee with chocolate hints and roasted barley. Sharp finish and good mouthfeel. This is a very fine porter, light years ahead of the others I've tried in Quito.

Aroma is sharp and sweet molasses and brown sugar, this captures amber characteristics nicely. Has good foam and a clear copper body. Flavour is soft grain and malt notes, nothing too pronounced. Good oiliness, good mouthfeel. This is a very nice amber. Bandido is definitely a cut above some of the other local brewers.

Aroma of soft ginger and honey on the nose but they could be more prominent. Has an okay white foam and slightly cloudy orange body. Flavour is a comfortable mix of sweet honey and ginger. A bit too sweet for my tastes and any grain character is less prominent than I would prefer. Okay mouthfeel, about average. It's a nice beer with unique qualities but needs a bit more attention to balance.

Aroma of sharp hops on some good sour grapefruit zest going on. Okay head and a slightly cloudy yellow. Flavour is aromatic but meaty hops with soft grapefruit hints. Good oilness on the mouth but not excessive. It's a good IPA effort, very drinkable.

Has good foam and a slight fog on yellow body. Good smells of hops, sharp malts, as a pale ale should be. Flavour is good crispness and dark bread notes, a bit of muddiness could be fleshed out. Good balance on the mouth between oil and water. It's a nice pale ale, leagues ahead of some beers I have found in Quito.
