Ungstrup (26476) - Citizen of the universe, DENMARK - SEP 12, 2004
A light yellow beer with a small disappearing white head. The aroma is sour. The flavor is sour with hints of hops and a dry end. The sourness must come from brewing cereal.

oh6gdx (18799) - Vasa, FINLAND - FEB 25, 2012
Bottled (thanks to my mom & dad for bringing me this from their GTM trip). Yellowish golden colour with a small white head. Aroma is a bit eggy, grainy, mildly maizelike as well. Flavour is hay, grass, some mild maize as well. Not too much bitterness to be found. Quite vegetably finish.

bu11zeye (11262) - Frisco (Dallas), Texas, USA - APR 11, 2004
(Bottle) Similar to other popular lagers throughout Central America. Not a particularly good tasting brew, but did not expect much more.

Oakes (10941) - Savusavu, FIJI ISLANDS - DEC 16, 2001
Very pale yellow; grassy aroma with some sour pear, and hay; very light body, overcarbonated, slightly soapy texture to the thin head; no malt at all, and only a hint of grassy hoppiness; some plastic undertones; harsh chemical aftertaste. Normally this brewery’s beers are at least clean, so this is definitely sub-par by Guatemalan standards.
