3.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Straight pour from a twist-off, 355ml bottle to small tumbler; best by of December 11, 2011 printed on label (111211)
Appearance (2/5): Clear, golden body with maybe a finger of bone-white head fading quickly to a thin ring around the edge and a hazed surface. The body’s actually almost exactly what “piss yellow” looks like (which is also, coincidentally, half of Michigan and USC’s colors).
Smell (4/10): Weak, but smells like the style should (aside from weakness)—a little bit of biscuity malt, and some mild herbal hops.
Taste (7/10): Mild hop bitterness enhanced by the clean, crisp malt profile make for a moderately bitter start, followed by just a hint of pale / biscuity malt, a little chalky, with a very mild undercurrent of sweetness. Bitterness comes back around in the finish, in a medicinal sort of way.
Mouthfeel (4/5): Smooth, velvety carbonation that covers the tongue, punctuated with bursts of little bubbles—really pretty nice. Crisp, clean, really pretty smooth.
Overall (15/20): This is definitely a beer whose flavor profile and mouthfeel are enhanced by the temperature at which it’s served—that is to say, drink this very, very cold. When I studied abroad in Brazil as an undergrad, this was my favorite of the cheap, fizzy yellow beers there. It’s not great, but for what it is and for what it’s meant for—that is to say, something refreshing and ice-cold—this is about as good as you’re going to get in Brazil. I don’t think a lot of people share my opinion in this, but they are all wrong, for the most part.

The body is good, like the color, kinda brownish. The taste is exquisite, one of the best comercial beers in Brasil
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
UPDATED: DEC 5, 2008 Boa cerveja, mas com o paladar ligeiramente adocicado, o que a torna um pouco enjoativa.

2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pale blond color. Malty aroma, partially hoppy. Quite sweet, but with some reasonable hopping, and an interesting dry final.

2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle in Alta Floresta, Brazil. Grassy cereal biscuit aroma. Pale golden yellow colour. Dry grassy biscuit flavour. Bitter aftertaste. Hype of the description doesn’t match the reality.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
UPDATED: NOV 17, 2006 This beer shows a clear yellow body with a small, white and fast-diminishing head of soda-like bubbles.
Aroma is weak but with some surprising yeasty fruitiness. After that there is a medium malty nose with minimal hops. Some notes of pear and pineapple.
Flavor has a decent metallic bitterness with a little of fruity notes. Sweet in the beggining and more bittersweet towards the end.
Body is better than most pale lagers I have tasted. It is a sloppy but very quaffable lager. Finish is herbal and carbonation balanced. Decent aftertaste also.
Too good for the Brahma name, but still a mediocre beer. Good lager however. Thanks to my brother for this one..
