thome50 (574) - Boringville aka Irvine, California, USA - DEC 4, 2012
Bottle at a Peruvian restaurant for lunch. Pours a clear pale yellow/gold with big white head. Aroma is malt and cardboard. Hay and corn come through in the taste. Overall, meh.

olliejobbins (328) - Bedfordshire, ENGLAND - DEC 3, 2012
620ml bottle. Looks good but that’s it. Drank this in the UK. My problem is, this is marketed here as "premium" but is far from it.

jeremytoni (2711) - Swedesboro, New Jersey, USA - DEC 2, 2012
From a bottle poured a light amber color with a fair amount of head. Sweet malty flavor with a lingering finish.

SarkyNorthener (606) - Walsall (Yorkshire Expat), West Midlands, ENGLAND - NOV 26, 2012
Bottle. Pale gold little head. Malt aroma. Taste is very much malt, a little grainy. Otherwise typical lager. Dull.

Gambrinus2012 (2) - West Yorkshire, ENGLAND - NOV 26, 2012 does not count
A - Clear Amber colour, white foamy head that dissipates quickly. S - 100% pure malt, so on the nose is pure malt, slight breadiness and a hint of sour lemon which must be from the hops. T - Sweetness from the malts, with no lingering hoppy bitterness. M - Gentle carbonation, leading to a slightly drying finish O - As south american pale lagers go, it is the best of a bad bunch, the only saving grace is that their are no unnecessary adjuncts in it. Serving type: bottle

NordicV (760) - Malmö, Sweden, SWEDEN - NOV 23, 2012
En klassisk industrilager. Gyllengul med ett lätt vitt skum. Lätt gräs hö och malt i doften. Dito i smaken. Sticker inte ut på något sätt.

worldbeertaste (1121) - Lancashire, ENGLAND - NOV 17, 2012
Though its a pale lager its 100% malt, or so they claim and for the most part it doesnt’ taste as bland as other pale lagers. Medium gold with a frothy, creamy lasting white head. Smells of malt, and cereal with a some lemon sourness in the background. Hops. Medium/thin watery soft carbonated body. Sweet malt with a dry salty finish. Its a clean simple lager. Bit not aweful.

Nothing remarkable. Pale yellow with little head or hop character. Standard South American lager - unremarkable.

ttoadee (357) - Austin, Texas, USA - NOV 1, 2012
Light gold, decent head. Nose is all malt, no hops to speak of. Lightly sweet; creamy malt with a decent body. Finishes with soft malt, and a little dry. Not bad.

KeefOz (471) - Tarragindi, AUSTRALIA - OCT 11, 2012
Poured a clear amber colour with a two-finger white foamy head that faded quickly and laced poorly. Medium to high carbonation. Faint aroma of yeasty malt. Tastes same. Light body. Typical macro-brewery lager.
