Canned, 0.35l. Clear dark brown color with medium frothy brownish head and average visible carbonation. Aroma of grassy hops, mildly toasted malt, light coffee and subtle chocolate. Taste starts with sweet toasted malt, then followed by mild caramel and finished with mild bitterness and some spiciness. Light to medium body, slick texture and soft carbonation in palate. It’s not the top-notch, but so far one of the best Costa Rican beers (I haven’t had such luck to come across Bri Bri and Cartago micro brews)...

Canned, 0.350l. Clear pale golden color with medium frothy white head and lively bubbles. Aroma of light malt, grains, grassy hops and some skunkiness. Taste starts refreshing grainy and with adjuncts, then followed with sour grassy hints. Mouthfeel is crisp and dry, while aftertaste is mildly bitter and somehow spicy. Light body, slick texture and lively carbonation in palate. My first Costa Rican encounters - in fact not that bad than some others...

(Bottle) Clear pale amber with no head. Aroma has citrus, vegetables and som skunkiness. Light bodied and fizzy. Flavour has some initial refreshing citrus notes, but s followed by grain / cereal and hints of something industrial like rubber. Overall it’s not good, but it is drinkable.

Bottle sample at a tasting at the new Beer & Beyond shop. Thanks troubles. Clear yellow. Aroma of DMS, a bit of hay, a bit of malt and faint hoppy hints. Sweetish and grainy flavor with a slightly drier finish. Light-bodied and watery. Pretty clean.

I thought my extensive survey of crappy lagers in Costa Rica made by Florida Bebidas was pretty much complete, but apparently I missed the coup de grace. Possibly one of the worst beers I’ve ever had. This "beer" is like the last few sips of a corona left to stagnate for a couple weeks before squeezing an overdose of artificial lime flavouring. Extremely sour. One sip then left it for the village drunk on a street corner in Puerto Viejo de Talamanca.
