COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Our strongest beer, its combination of dark and clear malts gives its amber color. A little bit hoppy with a slight fruity flavor. This beer was the British Soldier's favorite during the Indian occupation. Cascade and Saaz hops are utilized during its elaboration. It contains 5° of alcohol.

tomciccateri (737) - Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA - DEC 29, 2010
Bottle from grocery store in Bogota’s Zona T. Two months from its best by date. Pours a deep gold color with fast fading white head. Fine bubbles. Well carbonated, full mouthfeel. Medium body. Clean pale malt flavor. Early slight caramel flavor followed by mild hop flavor and bitterness. Lable states ingredients imported from Chile and US. A nice find at about $1.80/330ml nonreturnable brown bottle.

dwyerpg (3576) - Las Vegas, Nevada, USA - JUN 13, 2008
Has a nice hop aroma. A bit of a hoppy taste to it, but odd, like too much malt. Orange in color.

Lubiere (6988) - Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA - MAY 25, 2008
A light amber ale with a thick white head. Aroma is much more malty,with floral hops and cherries. In mouth, a nice little pale ale with nice floral hops, again on the watery side. On tap at Palos de Moguer on Avenida 82, Bogota, December 2007.

fiulijn (10383) - Como, ITALY - OCT 26, 2004
Draught at the brewpub
Blond color, nice creamy head. Light but quite fruity aroma (cascade?). Dry mouthfeel. Fairly good, but this one as well is over-hopped.
