COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Brewed at the Florida Beer Co, Melbourne, under license. La tropical represents a full-bodied beer with a strong, clean import taste, that provides a pleasant drinking experience. Its rich body leaves delicate patterns of "Brussels lace" (small bubbles of foam) in the glass, an indicative o the high quality and freshness of La Tropical.

cbeers21 (693) - Miami, Florida, USA - APR 4, 2009
Typical Latin American lager. Light clear straw color with watery cereal malts present. Corn husk and slightly skunked aroma, maybe a little hidden spice but not too much going on. Watery blandish aftertaste which fades quickly from the palate. I suppose its quenching, (it was hot out,) but I feel that there are better alternatives of the same vein but of better quality.

daknole (5474) - Scottsdale, Arizona, USA - MAR 27, 2009
Typical pathetic pils. Piss yellow. Grainy and malty nose. Faded hops. Flavor much the same. I must say that this one at least doesnt have a whole lot of totally disgusting flavors. Pretty bad though.

ApisAles (1153) - Greenbelt, Maryland, USA - FEB 6, 2009
Light cloudy yellow beer with a minimal white head. Aroma was skunk, grass, corny malt. Flavor was very light and a bit skunky. It was nice with the spicy Cuban food we were eating, but otherwise unimpressive.

Cletus (6025) - Connecticut, USA - DEC 29, 2008
Bottle courtesy of daknole. Pours gold with a white head. Smells skunky and grassy. Tastes of apples and straw. Watery finish.

Oakes (9997) - Gibsons, British Columbia, CANADA - DEC 23, 2008
Straw colour. Grassy straw character is relatively sweet, slightly doughy. OK pale lager, seems clean enough but sweet and bland.

12 ounce bottle at La Carreta in Miami, FL some time ago. Nothing special, just refreshing.

IlanMan (1015) - Appleton, Wisconsin, USA - OCT 20, 2008
UPDATED: DEC 12, 2008 Bottle: Pour was very light golden. Tasted of light malt, rice, and corn. Very sweet overall. Somewhat drinkable but not enjoyable. I seriously love beers that try to church their flavor with phrases such as "premium beer" or "only brewed with the best ingredients." The green bottle also gave away the quality of the brew. Only drink this brew if you want to get trashed and not enjoy a good beer.
