Lata just says"Holland Type Lager Beer" on ít, 4.7% alc., from Centralcer. Clear yellow, short white bubble head. Corn grain aroma. Thin mouthfeel. Grainy liiightly malty bit sweet corn flavour.

Bottle. Poured clear pale color with a medium frothy white head that was mostly lasting with fair lacing. Moderate sweet grass aroma. Light to medium body with a smooth texture and lively carbonation. Medium sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. My expectations where met with a below average beer.

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.

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.

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..

6-pack of 33cL bottles - $5.99 at Hop City in Atlanta, Georgia.

Appearance: Pours a lightly hazed, dark golden body with a brief, white head.

Smell: Sweetish cereal notes, a hint of lackluster grains, a spritz of chemicals, and an unclean, soiled scent of expired apple juice.

Taste: Lightly sweet, tangy maltiness with a bit of barley husks. It has that icky chemically accent you get in malt liquors. A half-eaten apple dug out of a nearby trashcan. Low, low hint of herbal hops with a very low amount of bitterness. Drying, flat finish with a little bit of lingering unhappiness.

Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Lightly carbonated.

Overall: Not recommended, friends. Grody in taste and lifeless and essentially flat on the tongue is not at all what I (or anyone in their right mind) wants from a pale lager. Even if you’re going for ’cheap’ there are slightly better offerings available, in that they’re not quite as unpleasant tasting and are sufficiently carbonated.

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.

33cL bottle. Pale gold yellow color, non-existant white head. Aroma of corn meal. A hint of hops that smell like skunk/vegatables/grass. Fizzy carbonation. Little flavor. The slightest taste of corn. Bland with a little bitterness. Yup, standard Pale Lager, light bodied. At least I can now say I’ve had a taste of Portugal.

Heheh, not many of you have tasted this pale american type lager, from portugal? Smells a little like american malt liquor to me. No head, sweeter olfactory. Looks like pale lager, eh? Slightly rude initial lager impressions. My - catty. Seems Ok after a few slugs, tho weird piercing industrial processed funny-ness linger. Goodly CO2 probably makes up for that. Holland type beer, well, I’ll have to look into that.
