Bottle 50cl, a clear yellow beer with low head. Nose is paper like, aroma is light, dry, low body, just dry grain and wet paper notes, poor lager, dusty hops, low aroma.

Pours golden yellow clear body with white medium lacing head. Aroma include hops, malts, grains and some grassy. Palate is thin, watery, but lively with medium fizzy carbonation and mouthfeel. Taste is pretty clean and fresh and crispy, with some sweet malts and water taste taking over. Finish is short mild and watery with papery bitter in the tongue. It would drinkable but the papery tone in the aftertaste is too offensive.

Botella de 500ml. Copa Lager. Saboreada en feb´13. Color dorado pálido, apariencia transparente y espuma blanca. Corona fugaz. Adjuntos y extractos en aroma y sabor. Cuepo ligero y carbonatación alta. Textura aguada.Palna y aburrida. Asimilación pesada. Si repitiera otra vez, probaré con una rodaja de lima dentro. 500ml bottle. Lager glass. Enjoyed on feb´13. Pale gold color, crystal clear appearance & white froth. Brief crown. Adjuncts & extracs both in flavors & aromas. Light body. High carbonation. Watery texture. Flat & boring. Drinkability is fat. If next time comes I´ll try a lima edge in it.

Bottle shared with McTapps. Not worth money or time due to its strange sugar / syrup aroma. Crazy thin and awful stuff.

Bottle shared with MichaelBruch. Looks and tastes like any other Pale Lager (light golden, low malt, mild fruits etc), but this ne is really awful due to its added sugar and syrup.

Very pale lager, almost no head and minimal carbonation.Aroma is on target for a lager, although weak, and flavor is extremely weak. I would understand if this was a low alcohol or light beer, but this is extremely watery.

Bottle sample at a tasting at kerenmk’s place. Thanks beerandbeyond. Pours yellow with a small head, aroma of corn and rice, flavor is pretty bad with rice, butter and chemical tones, light bodied.

Bottle sample at a tasting at kerenmk’s place. Thanks beerandbeyond. Clear golden with a white head. Aroma of a bit of hay, some graininess and papery hops. Sweetish flavor with some graininess and a slightly bitter finish. Light-bodied. Pretty non-offensive.
