InBev Brahma

Brewed by Dommelsche Bierbrouwerij (InBev)
Style: Pale Lager
Dommelen, Netherlands

Bottle, 33 cl, Sweden, 2006-07-12 Works on the beach - abd this one have a nice hoppy sweet (honey) caracter.

Faint lager aroma. Pale amber with little head. Flavour is sweetish, with a hint of citrus, but almost flavourless. Medium bodied. Finishes sweetish with a hint of corn. Would suit people who don’t like beer, but I’m not one of them.

Pale gold with stark white head that completely recedes. Mostly dry smell (thankfully), light malt and slight spicy hops. Not bad, but wait a minute, where has the smell gone? Completely absent two minutes after pouring. Not too much. Slightly sweet, maybe a touch of corn. Also maybe the tiniest touch of hops noticeable at the end. Maybe. Highly carbonated (but not as bad as Budweiser), very light. Easy to quaff but unless you are visiting Brazil, why bother? Actually, I did drink this on draft in Sao Paulo a few years back. The waitress will automatically refill your glass from the pitcher when empty. They lay an extra coaster down next to your glass to keep track of your refills. They will endlessly refill unless you place a coaster on top of your glass to stop them. It is actually kind of fun, and at only $2 a fill, not too bad. Plus it was the ONLY beer in the bar. Overall, much better experience than just pouring from the bottle in the good ole US of A. Of course, it really didn’t taste any better there.

Overall, just not much to this beer. Has a good presentation, nice color and good clarity, but flavor and aroma are just not present. Pretty lacking but drinkable.

Bottle… Mostly clear yellow lager with a small, fizzy, white head. The bouquet is straight-up honey and honeydew. Medium to full-bodied with an oily mouthfeel and dancing carbonation. The flavor is sort of mead or braggot-like, but isn’t cloying. Lengthy, sweet finish.

Very yellow colour with little head. Malty taste that became bitter towards the end. Also had a bizarre finish that reminded me of baked beans. Slightly watery. OK balance. Bad macro lager.

When it comes to the light summer drinks that are served to the masses, this isn’t the worst. I’d rather a weisse but that’s not here nor there. It’s drinkable.

Had during my fantasy football draft. Poured a clear bright yellow that with slight bubbly fizzyness that seriously resembles urine when your dehydrated. Aroma is stale corn and slight sweetness. Flavor is very watery, with corny sweetness, slight doughiness, and a metallic/chemically "off" taste. Overall, not very good.
