Can
Golden color, small white head. Sticky brewing cereals aroma, light fruityness and papery notes. Sweet malty lager with a bit fuller palate than in the many other Central American lagers. Finish is quite papery. Very industrial feeling.

355mL can, purchased in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua. Pours a pale straw color, effervescent, frothy white head with good retention and fine-bubbled lacing. Minimal aroma of basic sugary maltiness and grapes; slightly medicinal. Medium mouthfeel: basic grainy wet malts, slightly overripe grapiness; well-carbonated, effervescent, and the grape notes and lack of a solid maltiness make this almost appear as a watery, one-dimensional sparkling wine; not especially beer. Light finish of sugar, grapes, stale malts.

Palish yellow. Slightly off, light grain aroma and similar flavor. Not as good as Gallo, als a light Guatemalan brew. Drinkable, but below par for this category.

Can: Golden with white head. The aroma along with taste was very harvesty and watery.

UPDATED: FEB 3, 2006 It has to be said, this is the same as Brahma, but they changed the "M" for a "V", maybe because Brama in spanish means something related with mating, and the "H" is mute. Anyway, it is ok.

Bottle tried in Managua. Pour is a light golden color with a pretty good start to a head on top, but it dies down really quickly. Lots of effervescence. Aromas are sweet and has apple juice and corn notes. Flavor would do good to be even that complex. Very watery. Uninteresting and unispiring.

Sampled on a recent trip to Guatemala. Pours a clear yellow color, little head. Aroma is faint with notes of wheat, light floral esters, hay. Favor is much of the same. Light bodied with a slightly watery finish.

ahh Brahva i understand why people like to dis this one.. it tastes and smells like corn if i want a lager i want to know it used proper ingredients

can brought back by my mother while on a cruise. poured the lightest yellow I have ever seen with plenty of fizzy carbonation but little head. aroma is light, sweet, and grains. mouth feel is light. flavor leans to the sweet side with gritty grains and some corn. thirst quenching but not something I need to drink again.

Bottle: Pale yellow with lots of carbonation, pours a thin white head. Almost no aroma at all and taste is equally plain and simple. Besides being refreshing on a very hot day there is not much more going on for this one.
