Sweet and watery corn lager, a "Corona" sister. Bizarre enough, but it costs the same as Rochefort 8 in Copenhagen.

heavy corn grass aaroma,very pale color initial burst of sweetness,extremely light body,taste is almost a sweet sour. Brought home by my son from South America

UPDATED: MAR 29, 2007 Cerveja pilsen de grande aceitação no Brasil. Coloração bem clara, espuma branca normal, um pouquinho adocicada, sem sabor predominante. Tem um cheiro de cerveja aguada, assim como o sabor. Boa para os dias quentes. Valor de mercado baixo, chopps mais vendido na cidade de SP.

Brewed and Canned in Venezuela - Can – 355 ml. - Has a yellowish color, with some golden lights. The aroma is not very good, leavening and grains. In paladar something of hoppy is discovered, but in the end they appear the bitter additives. (Perhaps rice and other grains). If it drinks frost well, perhaps this is the limit of the tropical water beer.

What’s the point of rating this? I don’t know, man. Wherever you go in Brazil, they serve Brahma Chopp (but I must precise that the expression chopp really refer to the tap, while if you only say Brahma, you’ll be given a bottle). This rating is therefore based on the tap version: Small aroma of cereals that is quickly taken over by a massive dose of sweet corn (think Green Giant/Géant Vert). Nice head. Taste of water (think Aquafina, Evian or Volvic. Think whatever bottled water you like). I love water. Must be a good sign. Not too much hops, if any. Large presence of malt. Nice head I see. Did I say the head was nice? It is. I wonder if it is nitro-tapped (no matter where you go, be it the beaches of Rio de Janeiro or the churrascão of Porto Alegre, it always looks the same). Yellow-blonde beer. Not much to say. It’s not good, but it’s not horrible. It is what it is: a macro-bland-pale-lager. Boring but not offensive.Next!

Fizzy, mostly bland, gassy. Fairly clean, a bit on the sweet side, and def light.

This is the working mans beer also called a chopp pronounce "shope-fff")beer, so when you ask for a lager from the tap, this is what you are likely to get. Nothing to really note here, as it is rather bland, but again the locals in Rio like it.

Interesting to read other comments about the corny aroma because, according to the ingredients list on mine, there is no corn adjunct in there. There is something odd on the nose that I can't quite place. Sweetish palate with a little hop. To be honest, not as bad as I had been expecting - just another bland golden mondo lager. Bottle (330ml)

Can. Weak white short lasting head with a pale yellow colour. Weak aroma of malt and corn, rather dull. Weak flavour of malt, bit sourish. Waterish aftertaste.

A typical macrobrewed brazilian lager. Light body and pour head. Clear yellow color
