(Bottle, 0.35 l, at a Cuban themed bar in Prague, 20160616) The beer poured pale golden and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had sweetness. Palate was light bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were sweetness, paper and low bitterness. Aftertaste was watery and lightly bitter. A poor pale lager.

330ml bottle as Cubanero Fuerte. Pours clear gold, good white head. Aroma is grassy, light caramel malt. Taste is smooth, light, good balance, no real off-flavours, some mild caramel brown sugar hints. Quite harmless and surprisingly drinkable.

As Cubanero Fuerte. Clear gold with a white head. Aroma is malty and slightly toasty with hints of floral and peppery hops. Thinner than suggested by the aroma and really a bit light on for well over 5%. Toasty turns out to be more bland and sugary. Modest bitter finish is very slightly spicy. Not much else to it, although it’s pretty clean. A bit of a let down after the decent aroma.

350ml bottle as Cubanero Fuerte. Golden colour with thin dissipating head. Weak aroma of pale malts, light sweetness. Taste is weak, malty, light citrus, light bitterness. Typical lager. It’ll do for the country rate though.

Canette 355ml. Couleur jaune très pâle translucide, mousse blanche fuyante. Arôme herbal, légèrement citronné, maïs. Goût végétal, sucré, maïs. Carbonatation moyenne-élevée, corps moyen-faible. Loin d’une grande bière, mais par cette chaleur, ça fait le travail.

(Can) Clear pale with no head. Grainy aroma. Light body with good carbonation. Taste is very light malt, grainy. Some bitterness in finish but harsh and metallic. Not good, but was acceptable very cold on a hot day.

(Bottle) Pale straw with no head. No distinguishable aroma. Light body, well carbonated. Flavour has light, rather grainy, maltiness, with some unpleasant metallic notes in finish. Drinkable, but not good.
