BOTTLE: at first, the aroma is not so bad; there is a shy but nice for what-it-is perfume of saaz hops, quickly replaced by an awesome fragrance ofjaritataca (skunk that is) and some hints of honey and there is a nice kind-of-pilsner color: blonde. yup, blonde. there you go: a real, true, authentic brazilian american pilsner. the thing is that there is no bitterness per se, it’s more about the very unpleasant acridness (a problem with the preservation of the bottle maybe? the sticker says best before august 30, 2012 thought and i bought it in mid-december, 2011... but the environment of the shop where i bought it could have been a problem; no air conditioned inside and it was more than 40°C outside and it was not stocked in any refrigerator). to me, it’s just another problematic brazilian beer, that was brewed with very good intentions. it’s why i always feel bad rating those beers. they do try to be different, but they just fail at it.

Very good premium lager pure malt. Light yellow in colour, very hoppy in aroma and taste. more like a vienna lager, but yellow,

large frothy white head. good lacing. mostly diminishing. clear thin dark yellow body. aroma: heavy hoppy, grass, pear. if: light sweet moderate bitter. ff: light sweet harsh bitter; long duration. palate: medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation, chalky finish. aroma de lúpulo de qualidade, maravilhoso amargor de lúpulo, lembrando as melhores IPA, sabor metalizado no final surge como defeito, ademais, deliciosa cerveja, apesar de não lembrar nem de longe pilsen, 90 s

Not a bad little beer - light like most brazillian beer but has a definitiveflavor from the malt and muscavo sugar giving it more character and esge ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Pours a beautiful golden colour with a tall frothy white head. Aroma is quite complex of sweet malt, hops and honey. Taste is also sweet malt and hops with a sweet bitey bitter finish. Mouth feel is nice and smooth. Quite different and surprising.

Boa pilsen, coloração alaranjada, espuma densa de boa formação. Cheiro suave caramelado. Bem lupulada, maltada, traços de caramelo, muito boa. Ótima drincabilidade. Top.
