Bottle. Weak caramelly aroma. Almost clear golden colour, small floaties. The flavour is a bit bready, actually tastes a little old. Other than that, it has a little caramelly malt note, but not very exciting.

12 fl oz bottle. Pours clear and golden orange with a small white head. Light hoppy and mild wooden aroma. Light malty and yeasty initial flavour. Light roasted malt flavoured with a light hoppy note and bitterness coming through. Ends dry and bitter.

Pale amber pour, darker than you’d expect for the style. Nice head, but lacking in persistence.A huge wheaty/doughy aroma, with the sweetness of apples and apricots. Some banana in the background. Amazingly refreshing. Very slight skunk.Taste is of wheat and sourdough bread, hints of sweet alcohol (white wine comes to mind) yet still has a rather dry finish. Lacking in banana and clove notes, and the clinging weak bitterness was a bit of a turn-off.A tad weak-bodied, with little carbonation.Was awesomely refreshing after an intensely tiring day at uni (had to go to all of one lecture!).

2006 Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Best by 07/2008. Explosive uncorking. Pours with a huge, foamy white head an a hazy orange body. Good retention. Very light aroma with alcohol, chardonnay grapes, cereal and honey. Taste is honey, cereal, alcohol, grape, pepper and diacetyl. Lively bubbles and sort of a buttery, high alcohol mouthfeel. Very similar to Deus in this respect.

Thanks to decaturstevo for sharing this one at his Februmergency Tasting. This clear, dark amber brew sits under an average-sized, fleeting, off-white head. Sweet, smoky malt aroma. A bit sweet, but smooth with some depth. Nice smoky notes. Not great, but considering it’s origin, it surprised me.

Thanks to decaturstevo for sharing this one at his Februmergency Tasting. Clear medium amber body with a fleeting white head. Sweet corn aroma. Bitter and dry with little balance or depth of the malts.

Bottle from Monument Liquors. VAL 07-20c It exploded and the foam hardly ever stopped. It did eventually. Aroma is like floral/fruit over caramel. Amber color with an unending head and tons of tiny champagne bubbles. Full bodied. Cramy carbonation. Quite vinous in flavor. The heat is in place, but hardly burns at all. Finish is far from dry. Something like a darkish tripel? A little oaky in the finish. Definitely goes well with food.

12oz bottle. Brown-black color with a small frothy head. Lots of roasty chocolate flavor and aroma, while remaining pretty light and smooth on the palate. Not unlike a Porter. Some mild hop balance. Overall a pretty good beer, extraordinary by South American standards.

12oz bottle. Filtered golden tan color. Non offensive minimal aroma. Well carbonated, moderate spicy earthy hops, not so bitter. Rather thin and watery. Crisp and refreshing, a great session beer, but lacks some malt complexity.

Bottled. A hazy dark amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel and bread. The flavor is very sweet with notes of caramel, malt, and bread, leading to a dry finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.
