<i>355 mL can from Cheryl &#40;Panama vacation&#41;, served cold in a tulip glass. AP19/07.</i><br /><br /> <b>App.</b>: Light straw, clear, largish white head. <b>Aroma</b>: Cereal and corn, very faint herbaceous hops, a hint of light pome fruits. <b>Palate</b>: Light body and fairly lively carbonation. <b>Flav.</b>: Plenty of cardboard, a touch of mineral to finish and little else.<br /><br /> Without oxidation, this would taste like water. Or less.

Best Panamanian Beer. Flavor is good compared to other national beers, but is decades away from foreign beers.

Pours a clear straw yellow colour. I had it in Panama 12/2003. Another iconic beer that represents the country, maybe it was the jungle, maybe it was the thirst for beer, whatever it was- i found this beer tolerable.

Drank it in Hotel Veneto. A classic pale lager from Latin America, and the best I have tasted from Panama. Some hops.
