Thanks to ghawener. Drank it in my house with rcasta and ghawener. A cream ale? More like a traditional pale ale, with a little bit of hops, not sure what type. Very drinkable in our hot weather.

de wine-o traida por ghawener de bogota Candelaria Clásica es una cerveza rubia, tipo ale suave. Ingleses. mejor que una sam adams y para todos los dias

Remembers me the aroma of an average expensive and bad norwegian tap beer. Very unpleasant aroma. Bitter and watery. Long bitter after taste.

Draft: Light flavor, easy to drink, thin and one dimensional. Try the others.

Golden pour, thin white head. Some hops and citrus aroma. Dry mouthfeel like a lager. A very nice Cream Style Ale. Refreshing after walking a few blocks to get to the BBC.

Pours a golden color with a basic white head. I couldn’t get much of an aroma out of it, but it was probably because of all the cigarettes at the BBC. But the taste was nice with a citrusy touch to it. Some hops present. Don’t know if it was a cream ale or lager or what, but it wasn’t a bad little beer.

I had this as a table topper...with a large group. It was nice. The aroma was really strong...very much like an American lager....the flavor was also sharp...at first...but then it left nothing on the tongue. It was good for drinking, but didn’t linger or haunt.....a little disappointed, as this was my first Colombian micro-brew.

Light yellow, little head but a touch of lacing. Nice touch of hops underlying this fairly standard lager. Clean and refreshing.

Pale yellow beer with a thin white head. Sweet honey and berries in aroma. In mouth, a dryish lager with light honey notes. Light bodied. I agree with the other rater, this is a lager, not a cream ale. On tap, Dec. 26 2007.

UPDATED: JAN 9, 2012 Had again and found that this was okay. Not that creamy though. Did the brewer enter this info? I actually wrote down that this was rather creamy for a lager and not too bad. Not great, but okay.
