250ml bottle (i think) thanks to Grumbo! Unusually get to enjoy a full rare country tick all to myself. Clear pale gold appearance. For a light lager it's nice enough, gentle pale malt, light bodied, perhaps a mild cardboard feel.

Clear bottle in Oranjestad on 12th March 2025. Clean and clear light golden body, short lived white head. Grainy/corn like feel to this light weight beer, only had it because I was trying to get as many Aruba ticks as I could while on the island for a day (cruise ship stop), managed three! This being the least interesting and bland. OK in the sun I suppose but not a beer I could recommend to anyone.

Bottle in Oranjestad on 12th March 2025. Deep old gold colour, fast fading white head. Mango aroma and taste dominates the beer which is also fairly malty. My third and final beer from Aruba on my cruise stop visit.

12th March 2025 sees myself and my wife Margie in Aruba for a day (off a cruise ship) and I had this beer in three different bars, twice on tap and once out of a bottle. It's a bright golden colour with a fast fading white head, just like most Lagers/Pilsners. Nothing sets it apart from thousands of other such beers, light malts and a mini-hop bite define it's taste. Pleasant enough in the warm sun and of course a new country tick for me (I did try two more beers from this brewery while on Aruba, neither as good as this).
