Quilmes Cristal

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

It’s kinda sad isn’t it that so many countries export their pale lagers? Oh well. Beer pours clear pale golden with an egg white head that is modestely retained. Aroma is not as bad as might be expected. There is a some malty aromas and a fairly strong "lagered aroma". I have never been able to adequately describe this aroma, but it is frequentely presnet in good Marzen and German lagers. Flavor is more laudable for not being foul. or having the typical awful corn sweetner flavors. This is, to me, quite an enjoyable lager beer, with some malty flavor and a nice clean finish.

Absolutelly no head, Watery and empty taste. No bitterness at all.Golden colour as a lager, drinkable but try their wines, much better. ------- olmayan, tadı su gibi olan kendi ülkemizde bol bulunan biralardan. Eğer bira sizin için Efes falansa seversiniz. Ama bence bira bu değil.

Strong lager aroma. There are floaties in this brew which generally means it is dated. I bought this at AJs Fine Foods in Pheonix, and although they sell singles of most of their beers, I don’t think they properly rotate their stock. Small head, and thin white ring around top of glass. Pale gold in color. There were two unidentifiable black flakes in the beer. My guess is that they are paint chips that got into the bottle when I opened it. There was no bottle opener in my hotel room, so I used the metal railing outside to open it and may have scraped some paint into the brew. Flavor is very unspectacular. Tastes just like the dozens of other international lagers I have had over the years. There is nothing distinguishing here. Still, next time I’m in Argentina, I will rate a bottle just to make sure I get a fresh one.

CAN. Light golden with white head. This is a thin beer with nearly no flavour and no finish.

Bottled. Poured a clear pee-golden with a quickly-receding white head. Aroma was highly medicinal, with grains, light metal, and faint sweet malts. Flavor also had a medicinal tinge to it... sweet malt, corn, grains, and cardboard too. Watery on the palate, with very little power to the aroma or flavors... I just listed what I could pick out. Drinkable, but that’s about it.

Pours pale yellow with white body and heavy carbonation. Aroma of grain. Flavor is mildly hoppy with a grain aftertaste. Now I know what not to drink the next time I’m in Argentina.

Can. Clear, light golden with a white head. Light malty aroma with hops. Flavor is mostly malty, but it’s weak. Thin, quaffable beer. (060224)

Crystal clear, light (pale) yellow body. The head is white and frothy and dissapears rather quick. There is really no aroma to speak of. The flavor has a light hoppy nose to it, there is a definate citrisy highlight to the bear. Very crisp and clean finish. Not a strudy beer, but very refreshing. Good beer for a warm summer day.
