hmmmmm, another pale lager, except this one is from Peru. Grabbin a bottle opener. Pourin into my favorite taster, a 20 oz british "Nonic" glass. Pours a very standard pale yellow, with a very friendly looking very stable head of tiny pure white bubbles. carbonation seems to be fairly high. Aroma, well from about a foot away it smells very VERY much of co2, but I will now bring it to my nose. metalic malt is dominant, not very intresting. Palat is thin and a little sandy. the taste is pretty awful. metaicly sweet with a heavy dose of skunk. no undertones, no plesantness, just awful. Aftertaste is sickley sweet. Drain pour. Bassed on the other ratings, I’m thinkin mabby mine is spoiled. Cheers

A lager that’s not skunky so much as stewed. Aroma of a vegetable broth pervades. Very strange. Medium clear amber color. Thought this might be a lighter malt lager. Sweet cereal taste, some straw. Not hopped at all. Odd beer overall, and not that great, though distinct from the many overly light lagers. A traditional recipe with roots in antiquity perhaps?

Tried it in a Peruvian restaurant, not bad, and very according to the food they served, It sticks...

Bottle at green week in Berlin. Light golden colour with a bready aroma. Flavour is light malt with a dry palate. not bad for what it is

Malty, bread aroma and flavor, golden in color. Even if it says that it has hops, I can’t find any. Low head retention, and low carbonation. A very special beer.

Bought a bottle on sale ($1/₩1000) at the supermarket. Malty, smooth, a quick drink. A good break from the Asian lagers I’m otherwise subjected to. For the price I’d buy it again.

Bottle. Yellow. Fizzy. Lightly hoppy. Malty. It is what it is. So to speak.

pours clear golden colour , struggles to make a head even when poured vigourously and it doesn’t last . no real detectable aroma . taste is cold and wet. maybe a very slight hint of malt . nothing going for it really but better than Bud - but isn’t everything ?
