330ml Bottle – 99 Bottles – Federal Way, WA
Aroma – Light malt aroma very little to no hops and a definite skunk aroma.
Appearance – Golden yellow, clear and thin head.
Flavor – Flavorless and very faint with malt. This was light struck and just off.
Palate – Lifeless brew.
Overall – Not tasty at all. Bleh..

Clear golden with a small white head. Aroma is grainy, with some sugariness and faint grassy hops notes. Sweetish cereal flavor with malt, some corn hints and later a slightly metallic/chemical bitterness. Light-bodied. Nothing good, but at least not very offensive.

UPDATED: FEB 7, 2010 12oz bottle. sweet malt aroma and flavor. not a whole lot to talk about. nothing here worth trying. i woke up this morning and found this leftover. i guess it knocked me out last night. surprise! it turns into apple juice.

[Bottle] Pours a clear golden color with a small amount of head. Aroma of sweet corn and cardboard. The taste was a little bit better (thankfully) and consisted of sweet light malts and light, crisp hopping. The body was light and the carbonation level was moderately high. Not a whole lot to this one, but it could have been worse.

Pours a lasting cap of white head with a clear straw color body. Smells of skunky hops and cheap grain. Flavor is grain and a little hops. Finish is a bit malty but clean.

Bottle best by Jul 09. Poured pale with a quick fizzy white head. Skunky aroma of vegetables, grain, and corn. Grain and citrus flavor with a hint of caramel. Light body and a grainy aftertaste.

Very light golden color with a moderate white head. Some light grains and noble hops in the aromas. The hops are more grassy than floral. Very smooth feel, but not exactly what I might expect from a lager. Grainy start with a sugary light caramel component. Very little bitterness from a hops perspective. A mild metallic finish and linger.

Bottle shared with Barrios at woody’s. Pours a crystal clear pale yellow with fair white head. Nose of banana peel, as a gourmet hand soap. Flavor of vanilla, banana, mild and mellow. Watery and refreshing. Similar to the wells banana bread. Very quaffable.

Found this one bottled ... pretty sure it was at Binny’s in St. Charles, although now I don’t remember. Poured a clear, bubbly, straw yellow pour with a thick, bubbly white head, very little nose of a little canned corn and grass and not much else. Same went for the flavor, which was balanced but uninspired. This was the least flavorful beer I’ve had in quite a while.

This is how things generally go for me. I finally come across a Portugese beer (at the Binny’s in Willowbrook, IL), and it’s not on the database. Thanks go to the folk in the Forums who found a home for it. It pours a lively, pale yellow body with a two-fingered head that rapidly dwindles down to a film and leaves only tidbits of slippery lace. The aroma is light - sweet creamed corn, a suggestion of malt, and a dried grass bitterness. The flavor is light but really sweet - corn syrup and pale malt. The bitterness turns somewhat metallic in the finish. After finding the beer a home, I think I’ll leave it there and not repeat this one.
