<i>Can, 354 cc</i><br />Pours a strong bronze color with a big white airy head that sticks to the sides of the glass and leaves a tiny lacing after a couple of minutes.
Damn, this is a non-Reinheitsgebot Heller Bock as the aroma shows. Adjuncts and a veggie hint accompany a rather malty aroma of grains, barley, honey, corn syrup and some oranges.
Flavor is sweet, strong and pretty decent for such a comercial beer. Notes of honey, caramelized oranges, tangerines and a little of "Licor de Oro". Finishes with some alcoholic punch.
Body is BIG, maybe chilean biggest lager. Full mouthfeel with medium carbonation. Long finish that leaves a sweet slightly medicinal and fruity aftertaste. Highly alcoholic but not burning. Drinkable.

Jul 15, 2008 Dark golden color with a small white head. Aroma of alcohol, caramel, and weak notes of hops. At first, flavor is kind of insipid and lacks maltness, but by the middle it gains more bitterness and notes of caramel and malt. Middle body and lively carbonation, watery finish. But it’s pretty decent for a Brahma beer.

May 8, 2008 Cuerpo medio, sabor y aroma metálico (muy desgradable), posee un amargor alto que persiste largo rato en la boca. Color dorado oscuro y cristalino. Su grado alcohólico es alto y se nota. Se sienten la presencia de taninos lo que deja un sabor astringente en la boca. Hacia el final se logran percibir los aromas a malta y lúpulo. Fue dificil terminar de tomar el vaso.

May 1, 2008 Appearance: copper color. Medium head with ivory color and medium persistency.
Aroma: to malts and adjunct mainly, light candy and honey note, some hops smell (but like in pellet).
Flavor: sweet start from malts and adjunct. Light but some artificial candy touches. Slight herbal dryness, maybe, from hops.
Palate: light body and medium carbonation.
Remark: a heller bock?...definitively no, poor beer, but maybe the best of Brahma in Chile.
