Panzerfaust (377), Santiago, Chile Nov 23, 2005 Updated: Apr 22, 2006 Shows a clear gold color with a medium white and short lived head that leaves no lacing.
Aroma is very unclean with notorious adjuncts like corn, rice and metallic touches dominating. There are som hints of straw and cereal also.
Flavor is slightly bitter with a sweet note in the middle and a decent bittersweet aftertaste. There are traces of honey and vanilla.
Alcohol is always present. Highly carbonated also with a thick texture and an abrupt finish. Very strong for a Lager, in the mouth feels more like a Malt Liquor or a Strong Lager.
Better than Escudo but not by much.

Golden color, near to the color orange tree. Alcoholic aroma, and something of candy. The cereals and the rice are obvious very much. (And probably that more). The flavor is something bitter and with something of candy. In the palate the body is regular, animated, but with a bitter end. It is a alcoholic beer. Anyhow I remain with the "Escudo". faroeviking (4418), Faroese Autonomous Beer Republic, Denmark Jan 23, 2007 Bottle. Golden colour with a short white bubbly head. Weak grainy and bit hoppy aroma. Flavour is crisp, grainy and hoppy. Dry finish. Drinkable. omhper (10728), Stockholm, Sweden Dec 28, 2006 Bottled. Clear golden, minimal head. Vegetable aroma. Fairly hard mouthfeel with an unclean fruity mess of a flavour. Light-medium bodied. Sugary. Compares poorly even to other macro lagers. beer_ledgend (807), Meadowbank Auckland, New Zealand Aug 28, 2006 mild chemical aroma. dark gold in colour with big white head, that disappeared quickly. pretty much coloured water.
yet another can from Sullys shopping trip!! Lilith (242), Santiago, Chile May 30, 2006 Clear golden appearance. Small white head that disappears quickly and eaves no lacing and just a tiny film. Aroma is strongly of rice and adjunts tough with traces of cereals. The flavor is overall sweet though it is initially bitter and its finish is bittersweet. Strong carbonation, medium body, a bit chalky aftertaste. I strongly recommend to drink it while it’s cold.
