Lot of cans had drop damage.. hoping this wont explode... it did not, good. Smell- weak, some hops. Foam- thin, large in mouth, bit to watery side, weak bitter notes. Medium large foam to large side, cant pour 0.33 into 0.5 straight up, white, sticky foam, bit to medium thickness. Appearance- clear, light, yellow, amberish.. Taste- weak watered citrus, weak sweetness, some nonalco feel to it, nothing special, but drinkable.

Bottle poor into stemless wine glass from Ralph's. Appearance is clear straw yellow with nice sparkle, 1/2-finger width fizzy white head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is cardboard, mild fruit/tart fruit, earth. Taste is mild vaguely metallic, grain, European hops. Palate is light body with thin texture soft carbonation and dry finish as taste. Overall, sessionable and meant for very hot weather. Not much going on.

350 ml can purchased in downtown Limon, Costa Rica. Only 4.0 ABV. Pours a clear pale yellow color with small white head and fair retention. Fair lacing. Grainy aroma. Grainy carbonated mouthfeel, a little watery. Light body. Light grainy flavor; Not much flavor but nothing bad either. Super simple.

330 ml bottle into lager glass, best before 4/30/2018. Pours crystal clear medium golden yellow color with a 1 finger dense white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of cracker, corn, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, light pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness. A touch of fruity/skunky aromas, but not overwhelming. Nice and pleasant aromas with pale malt/corn and light earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of cracker, corn, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, light pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Light herbal, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of cracker, corn, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, light pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice robustness of pale malt/corn and light earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Very clean on lager flavors, with minimal fruity/yeasty notes present. Light-moderate increasing dryness from bitterness. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy, and fairly sticky balanced mouthfeel that is good. A bit thin, but not watery feeling. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.5%. Overall this is a good pale adjunct lager. All around good robustness of pale malt/corn and light earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink. Very flavorful for the low ABV. Clean pale malt/grains and solid earthy hop presence for the style. Not overdone on corn adjuncts. A nicely enjoyable and well made offering for the style.
