Quilmes Cristal

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

Thin, light lager, faintly light tan body, very little bitterness, not much here but props for not being offensive

12oz. Bottle: I saw this and decided to try a beer from a country that I had not yet sampled one of their beers. It pours into the glass a plae yellow color, and is pretty clear. A big white head that fizzes down rapidly. There is a good bit of carbonation to the beer. There is a sweetness to the nose, but it is mostly just sweet with a general lack of character. Maybe a hint of honey. The taste is definitely light. There is a bit of a sweetness to the taste, with a slightly dry finish. Incredibly non-descript and forgettable.

Average commercial lager, not better than anything available around. Perhaps a litle stronger than the brazilian counterparts, but nothing special about it.

Clear yellow w/ slight orange-amber hue. Fizzy, white head that poured large but dissipated quickly. Sweet, grassy aroma w/ some cooked corn notes. Light, highly carbonated feel. Flavour is sweet w/ notes of honey & a lightly bitter finish.

A run of the mill lager reasonably refreshing and slightly, very slightly Germanic.not one to rush out and buy.

Blond color. Aroma of corn, and a touch of lemonade. Dry, medium bitterness, useless.

Blond color. A basic aroma, like many other mass lagers, plus a light touch of malt, sweetish. Dry, light, too watery but equilibrated for such beer. The final is really too watery. A very light one!

Typical pale lager coloration, white fizzy head that lasts less than 20 seconds. Not at all skunky, very yeast-like and the taste is surprisingly malty. No real bite to it, but it’s not bad.

Some kind of special collector’s edition bottle which looks pretty cool. Clear lemony colour, head ain’t great. Steamy yeast aroma with a touch of multigrain bread. Malt character is nice enough but there’s some yeasty sourness getting in the road. Not a great deal going on here.
