In the France section of Epcot. Pours a pale orangish-yellow with a medium thin and foamy off-white head. Aroma was interesting, it was mostly maly but there was some kind of fruit I could not place as well. Flavor consisted of light malt and hops with a touch of citrus. Worth checking out if you are stuck at Disney and looking for something different, but otherwise this is nothing special.

Dark golden. Thick head that lasted for awhile. Some sour taste, but I expect that in a lager. Good for this style.

muddy aroma. Red amber, creamy head. Mud and smoke taste. The smoke is not overpowering, which is good which a thin body like this, but motelpogo is right the smoke and sweet malt needs some counterbalance.

Bottled(330ml). -I was pleasently surprised with this beer, when I tasted Cubana 59 (see my rating) I tought that beers mixed with rum are awful, but this beer dissuade me. nice rum notes, good head, golden coloured, little too sweet, excellant rum aftertaste

Off white head with small bead. Slightly tart malt taste, not much else. Maybe a bad bottle

A golden beer with a beutiful head. It has an aroma of yeast and honey. But the flavor is a little arkwark - it starts out like honey and flowers but then turns sour, there is no malt sweetness and no hoppiness and yet some bitter sour lingering. I tried it in Alsace this spring and now back home it''s the same weird beer.

Pale yellow. Sweetish, not much flavour, except perhaps some weird adjunct. A sub-standard lager, also for being only 2.8%.

Blond colour; nasty fake molasses aroma; freakin' vile flavour - sweet, fake, not made with real rum (not that real rum would help). No redeeming qualities.
