An inspiring blend of mouldy cabbage, corn, and rubbing alcohol.

Clear gold, thin tan head.... Ohhh, yet another typical pale lager from this region... I hate to repeat myself, but...corn syrup, flat, grainy... Apply same to taste and aroma values. (Sigh)

Bottle. Faint sweet corn aroma. Clear yellow with a small white head. Bitter corn syrup flavor, Thin watery body.

Bottle. Cigarette ash and corn aroma. Extremely pale yellow color with small head. Sweet corn malt and bitter herb flavor. Bad even for a Central American lager.

12 ounce bottle that poured a light golden yellow, aromas of corn and grass, not much flavor, light sweetness from the corn, but nothing really going on here for the most part.

Bottle 12 oz @ Channel Inn Hotel Washington DC, USA. Light yellow beer with a small white head. Sweet aroma of malt and corn. Light syrlug taste. Notes of something fruity without desideret hop bitterness

Total Wine & More, Chantilly 12oz ($2): Pours a golden colour with a foamy white head. Aroma is a bit grassy and the like. This is not an offensive beer; instead it is pretty light and grassy. Very drinkable and, to me, it was not in the least bit offensive.

Pours a light medium gold .. decent foam on the pour .. very light lacing .. . corn, corn husk, and dead grass .. . bp down again.. . light sweetness, could use more of a bitter edge to it but its decent .. . . never leave it in the hands of the judges.

As far as south/central american adjunct lagers this is pretty low rung stuff. Sweet, nutty, barfy, corny, shitty.

Never had a chance to pour this into a glass but can’t imagine it would make much difference. Wouldn’t bother tracking it down at home but on a beach it’s hard to beat.

355ml bottle pours a golden color with a small white head that leaves virtually no lacing on the glass. Aroma is mild grains and hops. Taste is light malty sweetness with a light hoppy bitterness and a little skunky. Light in body and moderate in carbonation. Slightly better than a typical macro lager.
