Gold color with bright white head. Aroma comes off as sharp hops with edges of metal and hints of malt sweetness. The flavor is obviously mild considering the style. The level of carbonation, the light hoppiness and mild malt sweetness go well together here. It does eventually seem to be a bit too much on the sweet side for me. I really don’t like how the label misled me to believe it was a Brazilian beer.

Pale golden yellow carbonated body with no head yet still manages to lace the glass. Smells horrible, tastes worst and mouthfeel is like carbonated water and leaves an oily feeling. Had this the first time in blistering heat and thought it was kinda good and refreshing. Now it just plain stinks!

CapFlu (3767) - Victoria, British Columbia, CANADA - FEB 4, 2007
(Bottle) Purchased at the BCLS on Fort Street in Victoria. Pours a foamy white head with a clear, non-carbonated deep amber body. Nose of wet grain, perfume and thin hops. Flavour is weak, watery and wasteful. Very machine oil lubricant flavour and pretty terrible. Yuck!

330ml bottle from ASDA. In an open and blind tasting with Cerveza Aguila, Cusqueña, Palma Louca and Michelob Ultra this came top. It was easily recognised. Sandy coloured. Open carbonation yet with bite. Malty aroma - toffee - caramel. Quite an intense and pleasant aroma for a pale lager. Clean tasting. Inoffensive. Some suggestions of the aroma linger in the taste. Something straw or hay like about the taste. Something like vanilla and whiskey. Raw mushrooms. This is the most pleasurable and most characterful of the bunch. That’s not to say we have a brilliant beer here - simply that from a handful of pale lagers it stands out.

Not a very interesting beer except for the smokey finish. The aroma is corn and the appearance is typical for the style. Flavor is not very good. It tastes like gasoline. Maybe that’s why it has a smoke flavor in the finish. Palate is thin. Don’t drink this.

ChrisTurner (202) - Melbourne, AUSTRALIA - JAN 22, 2007
Bottle -- Hey! Where did that head go?! Pours a pale gold colour with a few bubbles. Almost no head and no lacing. The aroma is really sweet and fruity -- my son says it smells like fairy (candy) floss! Next to no bitterness in the flavour, only a sweet and light maltiness. Given the right circumstances (on vacation in Brazil, maybe), this beer would be OK, but I doubt I’ll ever try it again.

almopina (87) - Madrid, SPAIN - JAN 20, 2007
Pours a very nice golden color with a head that disappeares immediately. Very slight aroma of sweet malt. The palate, a bit spicy, is the only decent aspect of this beer. Very light malt flavor. Very average beer. Nothing special.
