another pretty bad south american lager. Lots of corn, malt, cereal grain. Skunky taste. still better than a Bud.

Slightly hazy straw. Thin head. Grainy sweetish taste. Pretty bland. Wow, forgettable stuff right here.

Bottle at zekes. Gold. Stable white head. Fizzy with lots of rising bubbles. Aroma is sticky sweet corn flakes sitting overnight. Corn syrup plus salt. Stickiness in palate. Haven't had a swill in a while this is a palate shocker. Very sweet! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Pours a weak looking pale yellow. Fizzy head quickly dissipates to a thin ring. Smells mildly of macro grain residue and butt sweat. Actually pretty decently carbonated, but unfortunately tastes like macro swill, maybe worse. Weak pathetic malt profile with some bitterness. Finishes surprisingly neutral, almost like club soda. In theory alcoholic club soda is a great idea, but unfortunately this product makes an attempt to be beer and fails miserably.

Bottle. Pours a light gold with a very thin head -- leaves considerable lace, though. Nose is apple-y and fruity with a touch of caramel and a bit of adjunct aroma. More malic notes on the tongue, with some malty richness and brown sugar. Long and smooth finish. Good example of the style.

bottle, thanks to ericandersnavy, clear pale golden color with white foam, aroma and flavors of sweet grape, buttery finish

(12oz bottle, courtesy of ericandersnavy) Pours a clear pale yellow body with a small white head. Aroma of corn, caramel, and cereal. Flavor of corn, butterscotch, light herbs, and caramel.

27/09/2011 65cl. bottle @ our hotel room - bottled 3/7/11 (2011-458)

Clear pale yellow beer under aery white head, bit more stable than the Club beer, bit adhesive as well. Aroma: sulfur, methane, some hops, hint of sewer. Pretty nasty. Taste: malts and bitter hops, better than the Club. Some citric hop hints. Aftertaste: pretty bitter, but also a nasty sulfur touch. Long lasting bitterness.

Bottle 33cl. Golden beer with white head that it is not very persistent. Aroma is malted and hopped. Taste is malted with hints of bread. On palate is light with average carbonation and watery final.

650mL found at Metro grocery store in Lima, Peru in Miraflores: Calle Schell and Calle Larco. The label claims this has a certificate of approval for fine ingredients and beer making from the Weihenstephan in Germany.

The pour is a clear yellow to light gold. Suddy white head leaves small lacing. Low carbonation. Nose is mildly hoppy with small English hop profile with small spices and lemon. Has more of a helles lager nose. Lemon and dough. Taste is a big improvement over typical Peruvian macros. Here there is some hoppy bitterness with lager "sting". Pretty refreshing. Big take home message here is that this may be the only Peruvian beer with noticeable hoppiness. Worth seeking out. Someone may want to switch this over to premium lager or even Helles Lager.

Pours yellow with an attractive off-white head and a cheap lager aroma. There is a thin pale malt flavor with slight hop bitterness. Not much to write about.
