Bottle from a March 2004 trip to Costa Rica. A deep brown color with a tan head. Toasted malts with a dustry aroma. A sufficient body to make it a fair lager to drink.

Apr 28, 2009 Probably the most flavorful local brew you can get in CR. The problem is when you’re in CR you want a beer that is light and refreshing! Nonetheless, this beer has good malt (caramel), light sweetness, and is smooth. Not bad for a mass-produced 3rd-world brew!

Feb 1, 2009 350 ml can enjoyed immediately after "The Congo Trail" Canopy Tour / Zip Line in Guanacaste Costa Rica. Pour is clear brown, darker than I would have expected - much like cola. Head is one inch and tan. Aroma of malt and sweet caramel. Taste is the maltiness, sweet and grainy with a nice clean finish. The sweetness has some fruit to it, but it is actually pretty nice. Palate is thin, and a bit more mouth coating then I would have liked. Overall, this was easily the best beer I had on my trip to Costa Rica.

Jan 18, 2009 canned; courtesy of DomTom - clear and bright colour under a persistent and firm beige foam; aroma of biscuit and cola; sweet and thin malt body with a light tartness; corny and caramelish aftertaste - very poor

Apr 20, 2008 Appearance: similar to coke. Little and beige head.
Aroma: sweet smells with caramel’s and vanilla’s reminiscences. Light herbal aroma.
Flavor: some insipid, light caramel notes and some metallic. The dryness is some chemical. Candy and sugary aftertaste.
Palate: light body and high carbonation.
Remark: bad beer.

Mar 28, 2008 I just got back from CR and drank a shitload of these. I could have done worse and drank more Pilsen. This country’s beer is forgettable but the times I had drinking it were not.
