UPDATED: APR 17, 2012 The same boring dull yellow colour as most Brazilian macro beers with a fizzy head which is short lived. Aroma is basically the same as regular Itaipava but a tiny bit more hoppy. Taste is almost the same watery forgetfulness as the regular but has a bit more sweet malt. Overall forgettable, slightly better than the regular Itaipava but still pretty bad. Skip

Thanks to dm9831 for sharing this. It poured a very pale yellow body with a creamy head and provided spotty lacing. The aroma was almost air, just of minute whiff of generic sweetness. It was a tad bit watery. The flavor has a pale malt sweetness with a musty/dusty feeling to it. The finish was musty and sweet, with the wateryness cutting the latter. Actually, fairly drinkable as a lawnmower beer.

clear yellow-gold, a touch darker than the premium version, medium white head, some lace. musty malt nose, mild and airy. flavor is a sweetish malty flavor with leathery musty tones, also fairly mild. medium body, sweet malty finish. a nice change from light lagers, but still pretty unexciting. sampled in a bottle at Andarilho by Ley in Campinas, SP, Brasil.

Cerveja normal brasileira. Boa drinkabilidade. Espuma e coloação normal. Quase sem cheiro. A garrafa é bacana.

Pale lager suave, sem destacar-se das demais. Aroma e sabor muito leves de lúpulo e malte. Refrescante.

Bottle 350ml. Pale yellow color, a nice white head, just a simple pale lager, nothing special, no bitterness or hoppy flavor. Good to a hot day only.

Abril/2008. Garrafa, 350 ml. Coloração dourada, creme branco. Cerveja leve, muito parecida com a Itaipava normal. Lúpulo quase imperceptível. A única diferença evidente é que a Fest é bem mais carbonatada que a normal. No mais, as diferenças parecem sutis. Parece que veio para concorrer com Skol Beats, Kaiser Summer, Sol, etc. Bem gelada, num dia de calor, é agradável, embora não passe de água com gás. Mas, sabendo que esse é o seu propósito, ela até que é razoável.
