Why green bottles in the home of UV rays? A mainstream pilsner with not a whole lot to recomend it.

Pleasent and drinkable, essentially boring but not at all offensive. I guess it's good for a pilsner, at least it wasn't skunky.

Aurelius (3077) - Tallahassee, Florida, USA - MAR 23, 2004
Malty aroma. Hazy darkish lager, green bottle, cigar box label. Astringent, malty and watery-tasting. Does have some Carribean lager qualities -- light malty lager sweetness, crossed with some Yuengling yeasting. Not much hopping. Fairly sturdy mouth.

PorterPounder (3944) - Tallahassee, Florida, USA - MAR 13, 2004
Cloudy, specimen looking pour, sparse white head, skunky, Saaz-induced aroma. Flavor is not that bad though. Has some biscuity, yeasty notes in it. Brightens and sweetens up with just a tad bit of honey. Flavor stays pretty strong to the end - turns just a tad metallic near the end. Decent thick mouthfeel. Above average "island" pilsener - supposedly this used to be brewed in Cuba.

BeerandBlues2 (5594) - Baltimore, Maryland, USA - JAN 19, 2004
Suprisingly smooth for a pilsener. Hoppy aroma with hints of pear. Lightly hazy yellow appearance. Light acidic start and then bitter finish. Light and oily on the palate.

steview (904) - San Francisco, California, USA - JAN 9, 2004
clean and slightly grassy aroma. straw pour with golden, clear, and unactive body. white head that seems tight, but falls without grace. simple, slightly cremey, and also sweet. not bad, despite an odd flavour reminiscent of can. crisp and dry, which isn't bad. not too bad a brew.

I bought this because it says "Cuba" all over it. So I just noticed on the bottle that it's made in Florida. Just another pils.

UPDATED: OCT 22, 2005 Okay, so there is this guy who is in medical school with me and he is from Miami. He is half Cuban and half Jamacian. So I ask him, what is the best Cuban-ish beer that I can get in the states. He suggested this stuff and...

time for a rerate...

is it just a regular ol pils. Nothing too exciting here.
