Panzerfaust (374), Santiago, Chile Nov 6, 2007 Sampled at Malloco’s Oktoberfest
Pours a hazy red amber color. Head is white, medium and fast diminishing. It leaves a small lacing.
Aroma is mild with flowery hops and grainy malts sharing the stage. Balanced but light and simple. I found notes of rosehip, peach, palm syrup and cereal grains.
Flavor is sweet but balanced with some herbal bitterness in the end. Grainy and cereally with hints of caramel, fruit juice and lemongrass.
Light body, low carbonation. Flowery finish. It leaves a dull, watery aftertaste. A simple, easy to drink amber though completely unexciting.
almosi (279), Viña del Mar, Chile Dec 24, 2007 Has a amber color, red tones. The head is small and rapid. The aroma is soft, a little of malty and some outlines of flowers (rose mosqueta). The flavor is sweet, with a touch of malt and an end of bitter herbs. The body is slight and watery. Nevertheless the aftertaste is agreeable, and is easy to drink. I would say that is a well made beer, but without personality. davidpl (393), Santiago, Chile Oct 1, 2007 Appearance: dark red copper color. Medium head, ivory color and few persistent.
Aroma: intensive crystal malty, candy, honey and vanilla smells. Low floral-hoppy smells. Fruity like peaches, bananas and apricots.
Flavor: caramel malty start; honey, toffee, vanilla and butterscotch touch. Sweet-fruitiness like red apple and apricots; sweet-dry fruitiness like stone of peaches. Low hoppy, but persistent. Malty and peach aftertaste.
Palate: light to medium body, velvet texture. Light to medium carbonation.
Mainly candy, malty and sweet, slightly unbalanced start, but the slight hoppy end improves it. Nice chilean beer.
