Bottled, thanks marbles! I got myself a bit of a surprise when I opened this bottle, of what is AFAIK the southernmost beer in the world. The cap was rusty, so I searched for date stamps - it said Nov 1997... Anyway this vintage lager poured deep hazy golden. The aroma had a lot of toffee, but not the acidity you’d expect from a 7 year old lager. It was sweet and medium bodied with soft, rounded mouthfeel. Low bitterness. For some odd reason this beer had probably gained from aging.

Pale gold with white head. Gassy and fizzy with grainy nose and flavor

Another bland lager, a little bit of flavour, but it just doesn´t set your tastebuds on fire. Very watery too, how depressing, I really need a good beer. Oh well only three more months or so until I am out of South America.

had this in Belize sevarl years ago. It was bland & somewhat below average. Not much to suggest here. Had a definite aftertaste that was sour as well as staying.
