Head is initially average sized, frothy, white, mostly diminishing. Body is clear medium yellow. Aroma is lightly malty (grain, cereal), trace hops (flowers), hints of apple and DMS. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Surprisingly absent of horrors...bland, yeah, and not much aroma at all, but, as with Coors, it’s preferable to its kin that smell and taste absolutely wretched.

Bright yellow to light gold, looks ok. Dull nose with some faint yeasty (or is that stale?) notes. Marginally better to taste but no real body of flavour, rather a weak and slightly bitter finish. The advertising flyer accompanying this sample says ’pilsner style beer’. Huh?

I love it. everyones ratings hit it dead on. Pick up a handful of spare change. notice how the metalic odors burn your nose, make you wince. Now smell this beer and i dare you, I DARE YOU, not to do the same. Suck on a greasy spoon, swallow some old pennies, get the same sensation and avoid this beer. I may seem bitter, but im actually sad that my overall rating is lowering as my count rises.

Apparently imported by a friend of a friend - why he chose to import this I’ll never know. Aroma of cardboard and tin. Light papery malt flavour, flabby sweetness, some acidity with no discernable hop presence though it doesn’t finish sweet. Boring.

Pale yellow with weak head. Fairly sweet aroma and a wierd, very corny taste. The things I’ll do to sdd another country.

UPDATED: MAY 13, 2010 (11.8oz bottle) Pours a clear pale yellow body with a moderate white head. Aroma of corn, grain, and straw. Chemical, grain, malty flavor.

Light blond color. Light matly aroma, a bit smelly. Ordinary taste, but a peculiar, light (and pleasant) smokey touch (?!?).

Bottle. This was the last entry from me and my bro’s "horizontal tasting of swill", a shameless effort to increase our number of countries. Medium-yellow, big clingy head. Bland but drinkable

A very light beer full of adjunct flavors. Pretty lame really. Poor quality.

UPDATED: MAY 26, 2004 My first Bolivian beer! Pale yellow colour. Weak nose, perhaps with a touch of grass. Flavour has some surprising hints of peat or smoke. Finish is characteristically bland and palate is too watery. Local price: 5,-
