4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Did you ever pick up a really cheap swill beer from some foreign country (or from the US for that matter) and you just KNOW it’s going to suck. You try it because you believe in the old football adage that ’On any given Sunday...’, hoping that somehow this beer in your hand from French Guyana, or Mozambique or wherever will beat the odds and not totally suck. And whaddaya know, it actually turns out to be good! Such was my experience with this beer. A malty, easy-drinking surprise with ample flavor and a mild sweetness that really shines through. I could easily drink a few more. Viva la revolucion!

As a random pilsner that I had never heard of, I wasn’t expecting much more than another skunky lager. But this was surprisingly good, with a nice fruity aroma that lasted straight through to the aftertaste. Smooth, clean, nice finish. I know that I’m completely going against the other raters, but despite it’s lack of complexity, I wouldn’t mind another!

Actually, I would have to side with the bro on this one and say that this beer is on the upper end of pilseners...by no means a blue paddle though. It is the second best green bottle beer (Aass Bock). Very little skunk, clean and sweet. I would describe this beer as pleasant.

Cuba’s first beer banned in the U.S. for almost 40 years is here and its not bad at all give it a try if you can find it.

Bottle sampled at La Guardia restaurant in Chicago. The body was bright gold with a white colored head. The aroma was malty bread with some vegetable character. The taste was spicy with some bell peppers. Crisp and malty. With a clean finish, this was good. Plenty of carbonation.

I'll have to agree with Austinpowers in that I find this one far better than its ratings imply. A very smooth pils and almost a creamy flavor with a little sweetness, as well. The nose lacks a little potency, but overall this is a nice brew.

Man, I got ripped off at the convenient store, $9.50 for a 6er and then I see it at the Super Market for $7.50! Nevertheless.. I thought this was a pretty respectable Pils!
Pours a nice copper body and a plump snowy head. A sweet malty honey beginning to the flavor and then a nice hoppy crisp finish, note of lemon zest. Brewed Right here in Tampa, a recipe of Florida Brewing that dates back to 1888… and it still works!

thin pils body, nice flavor, but the standout of this beer is the finish it’s soooo dry, but not exactly crisp. good summer beer.
