A gorgeous beer to look at! Deep creamy head and a brilliantly clear straw yellow beer. Aroma is almost nonexistant. Just very light balanced hop and malt aroma. The flavor is neither malty nor does it have any trace of a hop bitterness to it. No real flavors really, just non-water taste. No taste good or bad, so I guess it could be worse. Probably a real good light style beer, I prefer a little more presence in a Pilsner.

Deep gold color that comes with a thick, frothy head. Slightly off hop aroma, but not too bad overall. Flavor is slightly bitter but mostly lacking in all aspects giving a somewhat watery palate to this beer. Slightly bitter aftertaste.

This pours beautifully. Crystal clear golden beer with a merengue head. The hops aroma is sour and sharp, unpleasant. It has a somewhat sour taste, but not as bad as the aroma has prepared you for. Thin, somewhat chalky mouthfeel, but not a real lot of any maltiness. Maybe a slight grainyness, but that's it. Luckily no finish either.

Gotta love that corn and grass. writing more to get the min. 75. WOW, great on a hot day and only 4.0%! I wonder if this is long enough?

Am I the only one who thinks this is OK??? Despite the cow manure nose, the body is well balanced and mildly sour. Not unexpectedly a dry corny finish. Better than the Imperial IMO.

Light grainy nose and palate. Not much to it, but drinkable.................

Bottled in Monteverde. Pale yellow, coarse head. Aroma of an empty can with conserved peas. Sweetish, empty and metallic. Tastes like a used garbage can, and that is coincidencially also where I think this beer belongs.

Rather light, with a slight grainy note. It is probably one of the most well-made of the mainstream Central American lagers, and wouldn’t disappoint most beer drinkers. Though it is kind of flavourless for my money, you could do much worse.
