head medium recedes to no cover carbonation slowing not strong gold pour aroma rubbery lemon some hop flavour lemon lime sour chewy almost rubber taste foul tasting gone to water carbonation gone taste bad finish revolting rubbery sour bland off.

Hop malt ashtray aroma. plae yellow colour with poor head and lacing. Malt hop flavour with a lot of dirt ashtray for good measure. Flat palate.

Botle - not really much of an aroma. Light malt flavour, bit metallic, not very nice.

...well, basically a Mexican with a sombrero on. His piss. I think this goes into the fake corona category, thin, weak, skunky and metallic aftertaste. Oh well, it was $10 for six.

Poured a pale bright yellow, head lasted about 10 seconds before retiring. Light citrus nose with a faint sweet citrus (yes and some soap) flavour - very thin body, reasonable carbonation. Meh.

Bottle. Poured a vey pale, sickly yellow with a large frothy head. Carbonation was okay but the the beer was thin and watery. Very light on taste.

I was expecting a little slice of Havana in this. Instead it is another average beer by our friends at Independent Breweries. Pour is yellow/amber body, literally no head. Flavour is sweetness, citrus and a slight bittering finish. This is really aimed as a low cost Corona, just plain ordinary.

Clear, sickly pale yellow. no head, thin and watery, bland. If this was all that was available there would be a revolution.

An Australian beer dressed as a Cuban. Poor colour, no head, resiny and citrus hops on the nose and a pretty bland taste. Don’t think it is really revolutionary.

330ml bottle - Corona clone. Can’t really say more than that .....????
