InBev Brahma

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

What a nifty bottle, asthetically. Clear bottle does not have a twist off cap. Looks like any other pale yellow american lager. Brahma bottle has brahma embossed on it and it ony has a lable on the neck. Aroma is mild blast furnace slag, or could be permanent hair treatment. I was expecting skunk and ther’s none. Weird lager first impressions with fruity evolving palate but not sweet. Just the essence of fruit, not sure what kind. Goodly appreciated amount of carbonation. Finish is typical of many pale lagers. non offensive and a little weak but lasts for a few moments. No sign of hops in this stuff, simple pale lager all the way. Fairly light and interesting, goes down easy. Again, that bottle has my attention, I think its female in gender.

<b>Bottle transparent, 330 ml</b>
<b>Appearance: </b>Pours pale gold, yellowish butessential and deep corny body colour, carbonation is moderate, head is rocky, frisky, quickly changing and decreasing quite fast from medium to small, white but slightly greyish in colour.
<b>Aroma: </b>Generally poor, aroma of quite high alcohol , negative as for a such pale cooler - beer, accents of exposed adjuncts especially corn, vegetable accent, nasty and skunky as Rio de Janeiro slums. Some gentle chalkyness on top.
<b>Flavour: </b>Artificially sweet, some spicy alcoholic accents, very close in taste to Malt Liquor, unbalanced, vegetable base, alcohol and some strange artificial sweetness on palate being mineral like. Finish duration is short.
<b>Palate: </b>Body is light, texture is wattery, carbonation on palate is moderate to soft, really artificial, poor beer, finish feel is a bit dull and cotton like. A failure, far from being a real lager, preety poor macro.

Light, slightly grainy, hint of malt, pretty weak pour with almost no head, skunky aroma, ends bitter dry.

no nose. Good with a curry. A light sprity drop... a bit weak - but not as water as water -but gettign close

faint aroma. if there is one. corn and sweet stuff. clear yellow, nice white thick head. weak flavor, but the taste is good. sort of sweet, with just a little bitterness. easy-drinker & session beer. Thin palate. overall a nice macro session beer.(3,3,5,3,10) [rerate jan.24.2009] aroma of malts, hops,sawdust,yeast. pours golden with a small head. flavor is cornish sweet, very slightly sourish (almost citrussy), a bit gross. (5,2,3,3,8)

Light and easy to drink, but overpriced. Nice golden colour, no head. Pull it from the cooler and drink it in the sun and it is decent. Something about this beer reminds me of fruit.

Clear golden and no real head. Grassy notes of cardboard and some malt. The best I can say: It was cold!

Free bottle from my buddy before an ultimate frisbee game. It’s actually ok, for a chugging beer. Decent colour albeit in a clear bottle, tastes like, crappy malts and skunk. It has its purpose.
