(Bottle 33 cl) Pretty, deep golden colour with a nice, creamy head. A vague tartness in the aroma revealing the brewing cereal used in this - corn most likely. Quite a dry body and a rather high acidity. Not a great lager. 130805

A clear pale yellow colored beer, with a white head. The aroma of malts and sweet. The taste of some malts with sweet. That’s all. Almost no aftertaste.

Good dense white head over metallic-golden beer. Bit oppressive, certainly dull-malty nose, dough, faintly spicy. Toast, malt, starting pretty decent, then utterly falling flat, leaving nowt but some CO², trying to enliven an ultralight dessicated corpse, sorry, body. The head keeps clinging on, tastes of iron, and feels like whipped eggwhite. Lame beer with a false collar. Nice souvenir, Stef!

Bottle. Hazy pale golden with a small head. sweet malts and herbal hops aroma, but mostly sweet in the mouth. Fizzy. Waste of taste and space.

UPDATED: FEB 11, 2009 don’t know what is your matter with this beer, it’s just like miller or bud, light but tasty, it’s ideal with a pizza

Bottle at Madeira. The cheapest stuff around, and it shows. Very bad lager, skunky, cardboard and malty sweet.

UPDATED: SEP 13, 2007 Bottled 0,33L. Bught in Madeira. Yellowish color with dark glares; lightly bubbly with a lot escaping head. Nearly absent scent, with light notes of cereals and straw. Wretched taste, much watery and dull. Inappreciable bitter and alcohol content. Practically slops.

Bottle. Pours a pale yellow with lots of bubbles and a medium foamy white head. Malty aroma with hay, some barn. Flavour is mild, a touch of cardboard, some surprising yeastyness. A touch of hay and barn here as well. No bitterness. A touch watery though.

Bottle. Weak yellow colour. Grainy aroma. Thin sweetish grainy flavour with some malt, quite waterish mouthfeel and aftertaste. Boring.

[Bottled, thanks oh6gdx] Clear golden, coarse head. Neutral aroma. Sweetish with hard plastic mouthfeel Bland and simplistic with some harsh late bitterness. Extremely industrial and lifeless.

Bottle@Manchico, Madeira. Pale/golden beer with a light head. The flavour is malty with a bitter finish and a generally gasey hopped nature. The aroma is sweet and quite fruity. Overall an OK beer but quite thin.
