Hay aroma. Light golden color, medium head, no lacing. Pretty flavorless, although there is a tinge of mulberry. Sorry folks, that’s all the flavor there appears to be.

Grains and grass in aroma. The flavor is grains and apples. Not awful but overall satisfied.

Light Yellow, Minimal Head, No Lacing. Another Beer from another Central American Country, yet it is the same looks and taste as others. Should have copy paste function, would not need rewriting same review over and over.. Drinkable and refreshing on a hot day, otherwise tasteless and boring fizz.

Aroma of wet cardboard. Pale yellow color with a white head. bitter and grassy flavors. Why even bother?

Skunky aroma, pale golden appearance, light bitterness/body. After reading reviews I was expecting something horrible. It’s not great, but I’ve had worse. The best way I can describe the overall experience is a Latin American version of Heineken with a cool rooster on the label.

MrBeerFanatic (722) - Buffalo, New York, USA - APR 7, 2013
Pours a light yellow with light carbonation. Aromas medium skunky, light wet grass and light grain. Flavors of sour grain, and wet grass. Leaves a corn/grain aftertaste. Crisp.

Bottle->mini lager. Straw with small white head. Aroma is skunky sweet corn. Taste is unpleasant with metal and grains. Yuck.

bigguns22 (400) - Maryland, USA - MAR 17, 2013
Not a lot to say about this beer. On a hot day it would be refreshing but nothing that sets it apart from any other central America lager. Lite,crisp and easy to drink.

Jesterdeal (1045) - Marlton, New Jersey, USA - MAR 17, 2013
Bottle share as Famosa at beers of the world. Aroma is slight sweet champagne with a sweet biscuit. Pours clear blonde with bubbles. Taste is a slight funky pilsner with some sweet stale biscuit notes. Not the worst pale lager. I would drink this again.

JohnnyJ (3532) - San Diego, California, USA - MAR 2, 2013
Large glass bottle. Clear pissy yellow pour, with a very bad looking white fizzy head. Corn, sweetness, horse piss, and somewhat stale tasting. Not good, but at least its cheap.

When I buy a beer like this I have this fleeting hope that it will take me back to the times I was getting drunk in Lago Atitlan and jumping off 11m cliffs. I hope it will bring back the taste of a taco gringa and grudgingly remind me of the endless bachata cds blasted on chicken buses ripping around the hillsides of the Guatemalan highlands. But unfortunately it only tastes like a shitty lager that would only go down well with a superior taste of Guatemalan food. And I don’t have any Guatemalan food.
