Quilmes Cristal

Brewed by Cerveceria Malteria Quilmes SAICAY (InBev)
Style: Pale Lager
Buenos Aires, Argentina

330 ml aluminium bottle: Pours a clear and brilliant yellow color with plenty of bubbles and a medium white and suspicious head. It diminishes after a couple of minutes into a weird lacing. Aroma is the same from any other cheap pale lager with adjuncts like corn and rice coming out. There is a little of cereally and herbal notes. This doesn’t invite me to take a big sip but well.....Flavor is soft and watery with a little of bitterness and an acid citrusy finish which leaves an aftertaste that’s not unlike water’s. Damn!. Very watery as most comercial beers in the region. This is a lager of really poor quality. Shame on Quilmes. Brought by my mother from Mendoza.

Very clear golden appearance with a fas-diminishing white head, that was frothy and left a fair lacing (at least in the flute glass I drank it). It smells of cooked vegetables, grains and no hops at all!!. Disgusting flavor with some grains, very watery. Thin bodied and flat carbonated.

Quite a strong Citrus flavor burst when the bottle was first open. Fizzy mouth feeling, like a soda. Disappointing, accompanyment to one of the best steak plates of my life at Industria Agentina in Tribeca. I was expecting a strong flovorsome beer would come fropm a country of rich, spicy food.

Very clear yellow colour, average but diminishing white head with some light carbonation. Sweet light hoppy aroma, some grasses but also some dough touches. Light body, flat with a rather sweet bitter finish that ends fast. I think to drink very cold, otherwise it’s to flatt.

Bottle sampled with Stegosaurus. Pours light golden with a white head. Aroma of grain, malt, typical pale lager smell. Flavor is smooth and refreshing sweet up-front with a mild bitter finish.

Pours a very lite yellow. Not much of an aroma and almost no taste. It reminded me an american domestic with a weird corn aftertaste.

Light yellow colored, medium white head. Sweet, thin aromated beer with some corny tones. Thin to medium bodied. Corn mildly in flavor with some sweetness, also flavor is very thin.

Decent sized soda bubble head that lasts for a short duration. Light malt and corn aroma. Bit of spicey hops in there also. Color is a pale gold. Good carbonation. Clean flavor of pretty much nothing. Very light. Little malt. Light hops and nothing else. Kind of like a typical BMC. Finish is clean and crisp. Kind of like drinking cold water. What are these people thinking. Argentina’s favorite beer. Guess I am not going to Argentina.
