Aroma was skunky, appearance was fizzy light yellow with a white head that disappeared in no time. The flavour was sour like and somewhat tart. The beer started of fizzy and then quickly went down flat and tasted like watered down stadium beer. Does Belgium make cigars?

Very light colour, sparkling. Very sour with a poor hint of hop. Maybe against the thurst, but not more.

Nice foamy white head underneath a pale yellow color. Minimal aroma of hops, some faint hop notes in the body, Yeasty? notes in the palate. Nothing new.

Gold with fast fading white head. no real aroma. Very faint hops flavor

This beer scared me at first. But when I drank it I actually didn’t mind it. I’ve read all the reveiws here and everyone hates dosen’t seem to like it. I must have got the best bottle in the world then. Mind you it’s not the best out there. Yes it is sweet. But it is a hell of alot better then a Corona!!!! I can see drinking this in the summer in the heat. Not in December when I drank it :) Ranks low in aroma and appearance though since it really has no colour hence the green bottle it comes in. It’s smell was somewhat skunky which is a real turn off. Made up for it in flavour.

Light yellow colour. No head. Aroma is slightly skunky. Flavour is sugery water. Crappy beer.

pale yellow, no head. fizzy, bland. something people drink at resorts because it’s free.

no one will ever offer this beer as a compelling reason to lift our embargo on cuban products. weve already got all the crummy, washed out lagers we require crowding our grocery store shelves, thanx. (an embargo on anheiser-busch products isn’t a bad idea come to think of it). this tropical trainwreck is a carbonated and slightly refined example of creative things to make from lagoon water. an attempt to be golden in color fails utterly and only reaches the pigment of a machine washed wax bean. head is milky with reasonable loft, but beneath it is a sulphurous thug of burnt newspaper trampling a whimper of hops, while the soda-cracker malt is too craven to do anything to assist. starts out with a cold wetness, which in certain climates and desparate circumstances could even be regarded as refreshing, but too quickly fails in manifold faults. better stick to cigars, fidel.

A very light yellow beer with almost no head. It has no aroma at all and not much flavor either - I thought of it as watery. It ends of on a slightly bitter note.

I can’t say I had the same experience as WastedYouthBrew, but I will wish him all the best in his recuperation along with good razors and skin creams, etc. This a boring light, over-carbonated beer with almost no flavour and no severe flaws to speak of (other than what’s missing in there). It was free at the resort I stayed at and I drank wussy drinks with mint and lime and rum most of the time.
