Can shared with <a href = http://www.ratebeer.com/View-User-30044.htm> Panzerfaust

Can, 330 ml Pours a clear, flat dark golden color. Head is white, medium and fully diminishing. It leaves no lacing. Aroma is malty with slight hints of german hops but very light overall. Some apples and a trace of citrus appear later on. Notes of white grapes, pineapple, some alcohol and grains too. Not bad. Flavor is sweet with good alcoholic presence. A bitter note comes from the carbonation attacking the tongue with lemony touches. A hint of grass is there also. Rather crisp. Body is light to medium. Texture is watery. Very high, fizzy carbonation. The finish is alcoholic and leaves and aftertaste of Punch. Very quaffable macro lager.

A thousand thanks to <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/View-User-31163.htm&g for sharing this beer.

Can with hygenic foil. Light, clear yellow with a small white creamy head. Smells alright to begin with actually- typical appley fusel-type notes and some grain. Straightforward flavour that isn’t particularly bad but just really quite bland. Malty sweetness with a clean and quick finish. The alcohol, which is supposedly 6.5%, is hidden quite well.
Thanks to my parents for bringing this back for me from their recent trip to Colombia.

Can (330cc). Shared with mds and tupalev, mds’s can. snazzy red foil cap!!! Pale clear gold, diminishing small frothy off-white head. Moderate ass aroma, grainy, sugary, a little boozy, but clean ... sort of. Weak body, soft, grainy, sweet finish, almost like apple juice. Ehh. Doesn’t taste 6.5%

Not much aroma but what’s there is okay. Really pretty decent given the comparable lagers available in Bogota, plus it’s 6.5%, so better and more potent!

UPDATED: JAN 26, 2006 Can... Clear, yellow lager with a mid-sized, frothy, white head. Grainy aroma with notes of mash, jalapeno and popcorn. Well-balanced and fairly refreshing. Medium to full-bodied and lightly creamy with fizzy carbonation. Finishes crisp and clean. Much better than expected. Thanks go out to my friend and former client, Angela, for bringing this brew back from Bogota!
