2.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 2 Flavor 2 Texture 4 Overall 2
Imported from my RateBeer account as Balashi Chill Caribbean Beer (by Balashi Brewery):
Aroma: 2/10, Appearance: 3/5, Taste: 2/10, Palate: 2/5, Overall: 4/20, MyTotalScore: 1.3/5

14/IV/2012 - 22cl bottle @ home - BB: 19/IV/12 (2012-353) Thanks to Thomas and Annelies for the bottle!

Clear pale yellow beer, small white head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: very nasty, barnyard, sewer, corn syrup with a little turd on top, sickly sweet touch. MF: soft carbon, light body. Taste: some corn, bit sweet, some sour grains, little bitter. Aftertaste: soapy, bitter, grains. I have to admit, it did give me the chills.

Given by a friend. Golden colour, white head. Aroma of malts, rather sweet, faintest hint of hops. Light bodied. Supposedly brewed by a German brewer with imported German malts, though in reality it is just another beer brewed for and in a warm climate. Refreshing though.
(From small bottle, twenty-something cL)

Review from notes sampled the week of 8/6/2008 Honeymoon in Aruba and lets just say craft beer hasn’t come into vogue on this scorching desert of an island. Balashi is the Aruba beer and you can find it everywhere. I got the chance to try this on tap, in green 12oz bottles and in brown 7oz bottles, it makes no difference the beer is a pretty crappy macro lager. Smells and tastes like you’d expect light with hints of corn, honey, grains, and some skunk. I often found a mineral taste, but not always. When in Aruba this is certainly your freshest choice, but certainly nothing to get excited about.

20cl bottle from a friend. I drank this at the brewery in Aruba in 2006. A nice lager for the Aruban climate.

On Draft 1/27/10 at the brewery "Beer Garden" in Aruba while on shore for the day, while on the "Legendary Rhythm & Blues Cruise". They explained to me that this beer was too "delicate" to bottle and this was the reason for this being available on draft only. Very pale washed-out clear yellow. No aroma, very faint malt aroma. The flavor is watery, with neither malt of hops present. Good for the style of "light Lager" I suppose.

On Draft 1/27/10 at the brewery "Beer Garden" in Aruba while on shore for the day, while on the "Legendary Rhythm & Blues Cruise". Not bad for the style. Decent white head, Clear medium gold color. The flavor was a bit skunky, although this sample was draft. Woody, hop aroma, faint malt as should be. The Brewmaster is German, and he does a commendable job brewing a boring style of beer as well as any.

Courtesy of fishingnet. Thanks for landing me a sweet new country rating. Pours clear watery gold and thin bright white head. The aroma has a mild skunkiness to start followed by cereal, hay and sugary sweet malts. The taste is light and refreshing. I can picture consuming this on a hot day on the beach. The taste is sugar sweet malts backed up by a shiv of lemon zest, cereal, grainy malts and some faint vague hops at the end.
