Clear bottle purchased in downtown Limon, Costa Rica. Pours a clear pale gold color with a white head and decent retention. No lacing. Lemon and grains nose. Very grainy lager mixed with a fake lemon/lime flavoring. Short flat finish. Very light body. Very artificial and soda-like.

Bottle purchased in downtown Limon, Costa Rica. Pours a clear light gold color with a white head and very good retention. Decent lacing. No nose. Tastes like a watered down regular Imperial with a finish similar to a N/A beer. Watery and very carbonated mouthfeel. Just not enough beer flavor here.

The name alone is a contradiction in and of itself. Like a strong mild, or session barleywine. Taste is naturally terrible, continuing a proud tradition of Florida Bebibas making the worst beer ever. Piss yellow. Cloying gross aftertaste. Bottle waiting three bloody hours for a bus change in Palmar Norte aka nowhere. No better place to knock off some light beer ticks.

Bottle purchased in downtown Limon, Costa Rica. Clear bottle. Pours a clear light gold color with a white head and fair retention. Barely any lacing. No distinct nose. Very light and watery mouthfeel. High carbonation. Very soda-like. Tastes like a generic watered down lager. No bad flavors, but just too light to have enough beer flavor.

Can shared by Dr Rob last night. Brilliantly clear deep golden color with a moussey white head that persists. Grainy lightly honey sweet maltiness with some faint earth and floral hopiness. No diacetyl no green apple. Not horribly exciting but clean and well made and would go down quite easily in a tropical environment.

350 ml tall can purchased in downtown Limon, Costa Rica. Pours a clear dark mahogany color with a large, tight khaki head and excellent retention. Decent lacing. Malty nose. Tastes like a mix of pale malts, dark malts and caramel malts. All of the flavors are muted, but they work well together. Smooth and clean. Not much of a Schwarzbier, but still enjoyable.

Bottle purchased in downtown Limon, Costa Rica. Only 0.5 ABV. Pours a clear pale gold color with a large white head and very good retention. Good lacing. Light citrus nose. High carbonation, yet a rather flat mouthfeel. Soft light beer flavor. Less water taste than other NA offerings. Respectable look and taste for a non-beer.
