3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle shared by kp @ rbsg 09. Pours a clear amber color with a medium sized white head. The aroma had sweet caramel malts, vanilla, oak, and ripe fruits. The flavor had the same ripe fruits, caramel malts, oak, with a hint of bitterness. Interesting and serves as the Argentina tick.

There is a hint of cherry, floral and caramel in the aroma. Amber red in color with a white, frothy head. Has average lacing. Flavor consist of black licorece and caramel. Oily texture with low carbonation. Starts off very sweet on the palate and ends very abruptly in the finish. Leaves a tingly feeling in your mouth. I thought it was just an average beer that i would probably not have again.

750 ml. bottle- Shared with poisoneddwarf and anderson01, thanks poisoneddwarf- Pours light brown with little white floaties, the head is an off white, lacework is medium. Aroma is malty, almost like a barleywine, with caramel and apple. The flavor is stifled up front, but then apples, raisins, caramel come through. The body is medium, carbonation is moderately high. Overall did not get a whole lot out of this, but am glad I tried it.

750 ml bottle into tulip, shared with Brenn79 and Anderson01. Pours a hazy brownish orange with a bit of sediment and a medium long-retaining light-beige head. Aroma is caramel, raisins, malty sweet. Taste is all sweet with no bitterness. Carbonation and body are medium. Mouthfeel is sticky and dry. Too sweet for me. Two cloying beers in a row. Ugh.

A: The pour is a light amber color with a slight haze and very little in terms of head or carbonation.
S: Not all that much going on in terms of the aroma. Light sweet malt, caramel, green apple, vinegar, and butter. Mmm.
T: The flavor is not all that much better, I must say. A fair amount of butter, toffee, and some miscellaneous fruits. I’m really reaching on those descriptors as this beer is incredibly watery.
M: The body is light, watery, thin, etc. with minimal carbonation.
D: A definite miss. There is really not much positive going on with this beer, unfortunately.

Bottle shared by IPAfiend. Pours with a amber body and a tan head. Aroma of honey, dark fruits and currants. Taste is caramel, apples and butterscotch. Very forgettable sadly, but probably one of the more interesting brews I have had from Argentina. Lively bubbles with a big body.
