A light golden colour with a fine white head that last about 30 seconds, but the remaining actually gives a nice lacing. The aroma reminds me of white wine.....A mild light caramel background. But a fine bitterness. So the have not forgotten the hops like some other do. Dry texture. Quite ok.

(Bottle, thanks Gnoff) Pours pale golden. Sweet sugary aroma with honey and marzipan. Only hints of hay and grass. Medium sweet flavour with some fudge and toffee. Hints of hops in the flavour as well. Light to medium body.

Now wonder they drink rum....oh never mind. #4 INOS, straight from Colombia from a co-worker. Almost water like in colour, I’ve never seen a beer this pale. No head at all. Incredibly strong across the table offensive aroma. Bay of Quinte after fishing derby aroma. Taste is not as bad as aroma suggests, but not good. I’m starting to turn green and shred some clothes at this point....

I would not call this a classic anything, but classic imitation of crap. Does not go anywhere, in any of the categories that I rate, goes down really harsh, and really fast. Finish is sour and bland.

Beer #4 in the line-up at The International Night Of Swill, and the first in the Columbian one-two punch provided by tupalev. Cute little 296 mL can with foil on top to give it some extra class. Colour is pale yellow with a greenish tinge. Aroma is vegetal and strangely fishy. Flavour is pretty much nothing, just fizzy water with a little metallic tinge. No wonder they all drink rum down there...

Bottle @ home. Clear gold, almost no head. Aroma is a hint of hops, somewhat grainy and strange. Flavor is boring grainy applejuice. A bit bitter.

Bottled 33cl. Nothing much to write home about. Grainy, metallic and reminiscent of boiled vegetables. Sampled a bit too warm.

Bottle from grocery with exotic food and drink, Vienna. Golden color with medium white head. Aroma of malts and corn. taste, is strongly metallic which kills other flavors. Bad.

Watery goldenbrown, almost no head, what’s left quickly dissipates. Malty, and corny almost apple juice aroma. Flavour is too sweet and malty. Apparently I still don’t know it, because this is anything but perfect.

Bottle: Golden color, low head. Light corny/grainy aroma and grassy hops. Flavor is light grainy, notes of straw and grassy hops. Light bitter finish. Better then expected.
