Bottle. Pours a dark clear coppery golden body, carrying a small white head with a short life span. Caramel malty tones, pale malts, hints of red berries. Taste is pale malts, caramel, hints of burnt sugar and grains. Smooth and crisp mouthfeel, slightly fizzy carbonation. An slightly decent vienna, but nothing more.

nothing special, nice bottle with poor character and characterisitcs. no aroma or body, taste like a simple vienna lager

Pours clear bubbly bronze with a medium head, aroma of caramel, malt, cheese and cornflakes, flavor of malt liquor with some malt and lots of alcohol, metal and herbal notes, light bodied too sweet and alcoholic

Deep copper, clear with small head. Aroma of Malt, corn, yeast, grass. Nice bit of bitterness upfront in the taste, giving way to a bit more malty flavors and some raisins, bread, biscuit and yeast. Mild finish.

12oz bottle picked up at The Grapevine
Appearance: Pours clear golden with a medium sized creamy off-white head and good lacing
Aroma: Malts, honey and some light smokiness
Taste: Light malts, grainy, sweet toffee with a mild bitterness in the finish
At first I didn’t like this, it smelled skunky. But the warmer it got the more I liked it. Easy drinking

smells like old lager. good sizzle from the start. medicinal, but lighter than old stock malt liquor in a can. bites on the clamp. looks rather viscous. mouth coating. much more personality than a rude pale lager.

toast, grass, earthy, licorice, golden, clear, white foam, medium sweetness, lightly bitter, medium sourness, thin feel, medium body, astringent,

Bottle. Pours clear copper, lively with white foam. Nose: Malt, some candy. Mouth: overly sweet and fruity. Oily, medium-bodied, highly carbonated, strong alcoholic aftertaste. Imbalanced and quite bad.

Dark golden color with white head. Estery aroma with some malts. Malty flavour, bitter enough to make it drinkable. Dry finish. Not bad, but not great.

Typical "spanish" beer. Malty taste. Not bad but definitely not the most tasty beer in the world. But I would rebuy it!
