Quilmes Cristal

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

Bottled (BB 02/2006)
Pale yellow, small creamy white head. Wet cardboard aroma. Sweetish malty, light, boring industrial lager.

Pour is bright clear yellow with a big dense white head...smell is very malty with some citrus hops down there...taste is a little malty, but still quite generic...

Bottle Thypicall macro pale lager. Pouring is of a washed down golden color. Highly carbontated, rapidly diminishing white heads that disappears fast. Aroma is grainy and skunky, flavor and afterstate are non existant at their best. Completely forgetable.

(bottle) Poured pale yellow. Nothing there, canoe beer. The Bud of Argentina.

Bottle. Pale with slim white head. Not much aroma, a bit of malt. Sweet and gassy, a bit of malt. Thin bodied, watery mouthfeel. If this is really the Argentinians’ favourite beer, what a sad state of affairs for them.

I only bought this to try a beer from Argentina. There are plenty of these world lagers that are bland but inoffensive and suffice as a chilled quaffing beer on a hot day. This was just horrible. Adjuncty aroma. No hops whatsoever. And its sweet. Very sweet. Couldn’t finish it. Yuk. I have only myself to blame. 330ml bottle from beersofeurope.co.uk

12 oz bottle, from Half Time in Poughkeepsie. Pours medium gold, minimal head....grassy/honey aroma is not much to get excited about...honey stronger in the body, which is rather flat and a bit undercarbonated...no hops detectable but some hints of pale malt will do. Like the Cerveza Ole I just had, this is above average for what it is and perfectly drinkable, especially on a hot summer night with no A/C...

Bottle. Light amber hue with an average rocky white head that diminished quickly. Light aroma , little flavor and short finish. Well below average brew.
