Clear golden colour, white dissipating head. Malty aroma, moth balls, bit off. Sweet malty flavour, light biscuit. Lots of CO2. Sweet malty finish. Ah well, it’s a new country tick.
(from bottle @ weekly tasting, Benzai’s place. Thanks for sharing, Rene!)

Bottle @ Benzai thx to Benzai. Clear pale yellow colour with almost no head. Smells like a toilet in a pub, malty, slightly soapy. Tastes malty, sweetish and boring. Thin body, soft carbo.

Bottle from MBM. Honey gold with a short lived white head. Aroma is grainy malt. Flavour is similar with a little hop bitterness in the finish. Not the worst pale lager.

Canned, 0.350l. Clear deep straw color with medium frothy white head and average sparkling appearance. Aroma of mild malt, grains and very light grassy hops. Taste starts with sweet malt, followed sour grassy, while finished lightly bitter. Light body, thin texture and average carbonation in palate. Thin macro lager, but still better than majority of other Costaricans...

Bottle. Pale yellow pour with white head. Much lacing. Rather pleasant grassy aroma. Very little flavour, a tiny bit of malt, less hop. Almost no finish. Blah

Canned, 0.35l, shared with CanCrusher. Clear straw color with medium frothy white head. Aroma of mild grainy malt, cooked vegetables and some skunkiness, too. Taste is light sweet malty with dry mouthfeel and no hoppiness at all. Light body, thin texture and soft carbonation in palate. Poor and much worse than Bavaria Dark...

Smell of starch and maize. Drunk from bottle. Aroma of malts, starch, sugar, maize. Medium sweet. Pretty boring but bonus for not being metallic/rubbery. Rich in carbon.
