Appearance: Clear deep copper color with a off white head that quick vanish. Some lacing.
Aroma: Caramel malty, light hoppy and a bit fruity.
Palate: Medium body. Slightly sweet and a light bitterness. Average carbonation.
Taste: Caramel malt, fruity and light hoppy.
Overall impression: Nice tasty beer from south America. But they could use some more hopps. Then it would have been a lot better. Well, I would not call it an English Pale Ale either.
Personal stats: Can from a trade with Arve_Christian.

Country #91

Golden-amber colour. Slight caramel aroma. Light, crackery, caramelly amber ale - not much for a drink.

On bottle from Lider Express, Ñuñoa- Santiago. Golden copper color, good foam. Aromas of malt, barley, dried fruit. Medium/light body & complexity. Some sweetness, well balanced. Enjoyable, but not really a pale ale ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Can...pours very dark for a pale ale...fizzy, tan head that dissipates quickly...caramel, toffee on the nose...very sweet, very little balance from hops, very little carbonation with a watery mouth-feel...not bad on a hot Florida night, but not great either.

Cerveza bien hecha pero demasiado ... demasiado fome y sin pretensiones. Color bastante cobrizo , brillante. Aromas a caramelos y maltas, en boca similar. Bajo a nulo: amargaro y sin retrogusto.

Bottled. A copper beer with a small white head. Aroma is sweet and malty. Taste is malty and sweet, toffee notes. A bit watery and low bitterness

Has a soft hops taste, not too heavy on the bitterness or carbonation. Only a light leave. I drank this as a special with two crappy hot dogs in Santiago’s airport. Compared to the hotdogs, it was great. Compared to your average pale ale.... average.

Served in a bottle, no glass, but I don’t think it would change the rating much. Bland and watery, little flavor or hop finish to speak of. Very disappointing.

A little incipit, it has good aroma and great taste at the beginning but later it is like water. NIce nut aftertaste at the first zip. NO head at all.

Bottled in Castro on Chiloe, Color is clear red with a quickly diminishing reddish beige-colored head. Nose is sweet and wet cardboard. Aroma is candy. The flavor is sweetened (over). It is bit metallic and very watery . Very boring for an ale.
