Quilmes Cristal

Pale yellow. Sweet malty aroma. Flavor is sweet corn malt and light/moderate bitter finish. Watery palate. Mild in flavor but what’s there isn’t too bad.

Light clear orange with a fast fading white head. Aroma is sweet, with almost no malt or hop presence. Taste is corny and sweet, with a touch of malt. No better or worse than America’s favorites.

Canned from my friend Gunnar. Pale yellow, Sweety, rice and malty nose and taste. Very thin body, ok carbonation.

33cl bottle. It poured a paly yellow colour with a big foamy head that settled down fast in the glass. The aroma smells of malts and some hops. The flavour is watery and tastes of malts and yeast. It has a short and watery aftertaste.

Bottle 355 ml. R$ 4.00 (US$ 2.08) in The Dubliners Irish Pub, Salvador, Brazil. Light yellow color, It’s not good, but it’s better than brazilians commercial beers.

Pours a light golden color with thin white head. Nice malty aromas with delicate hints of spicy hops. Fairly light bodied with plenty of carbonation. Gentle hop bitterness with sweet malty overtones and short, crisp finish. Very refreshing and excellent as a session beer. Try with chiimichuri steak or Argentinian beef soup.

This is a very watery and corny tasting beer. I didn’t find it horrible although it didn’t really have any redeeming qualities I can name.
