Distinctive for being undistinctive, although the label is pretty. Ordinary lager.

0,33 bottle served in a tulip glass in Conil De La Frontera,Spain,July 2011. Regular macro lager beer.Thin and watery. Starts and finishes neutral. Ok,but nothing more.

November 2008: First beer in my lager reviewing evening (came second out of three for score). Also the first Argie beer I’ve knowingly ever had. Brown 330ml bottle, poured into one of my Veltins Pilsner stemmed glasses. Very pale golden colour with a brilliant white head. Looked crisp and clear, if a little anaemic (anemic in American). OK lager taste, but nothing stood out and grabbed me with this beer. The 4.9% wasn’t to be found either, it wasn’t wishy-washy, but it wasn’t a full bodied little babe you could cuddle up too.

One the sweeter side for a pale lager. Not great but nothing really that offensive.

pale straw, minimal head. watery, but pleasant. slight grass and grain. drinkable but quite boring.

Very grainy, watery and very unspectacular. Starts and finishes neutral. I honestly expected a little more after seeing it on Boca Juniors kits all these years...

330ml bottle. Clear pale golden colour with small frothy white head. Grainy and minimal caramel malty aroma. Monotonous slightly sweet flat malty taste.

Riktigt ljusgul öl, med ett sånt där skum som man får när man häller upp sockerdricka - lite pärligt. Är nästan helt doftlös, men smakar mer. Vingummi och citrus, och en frisk sötma.

330ml can. Malty aromas. Pours pale gold, with average white head. Some herbal notes, bitterness develops. Light body and high carbonation. Standard lager.

Birra da ristorante e nulla più!
