Probably the best of Panamenian beers. Very good taste, nice golden color and beautifull crown, the aftertaste doesn’t last more than the water taste. very refreshing and good any moment. Perfect to cool you down in the hit of Panama.

Good on a hot day. Has a very American feel to it, dare I say Budweiser or have I been here in Panama too long! I drink it over regular Balboa but still prefer Panama. Not something you are going to look for stateside.

(Can 35,5 cl) Courtesy of fiulijn. Slightly hazy, pale golden with a creamy, white head leaving laces. Lightly sweet malt aroma. Thin-bodied with very sweet pilsener malts. No bitterness. 290407

UPDATED: AUG 15, 2006 This is perhaps the best national beer in Panama, though it isn’t saying much. When it first hits the mouth it has a very slight hop taste, which quickly switches to a sweet malt taste. No bitter aftertaste (a negative in my opinion). Don’t let this bear warm up too much: similar to American baloney beer.

Can
Blond color. Aroma of corn, light cereals. Dry and weak taste, some corn. The final is weak and short.

Ungstrup (22906) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - MAY 5, 2007
Can. A hazy pale yellow beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of straw. The flavor is sweet with primary notes of straw, but also a light metallic note. The body is thin.

More of the same crap from the same shitty brewery. Who is running this place, I mean c’mon?
