Quilmes Cristal

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

355 mL bottle from daknole. Thanks! Pours a clear golden color with a medium frothy head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma is sweet toasted malts with light grassy notes. Taste is light sweetish and toasty grains, light corn and very light grassy hops. Medium bodied.

Drank this one out of the bottle. Mild beer, light malt, light hop. Crisp finish. Very clean lager.

330ml bottle. Light and thin in the mouth and pale straw in colour. Rocky white head that doeant do anything to liven up the appearance. Watery and thin body with no distinctive aroma .

Bottle: Inconspicuous in taste and aroma. Some grain and shy hop notes in the end. Thirst-quenching but not more.

Ieri sera avevo voglia di birra, e ho bevuto una Quilmes. La prossima volta che avrò voglia di birra, berrò una birra

Turned out to be better than expected...not that I expected much considering the other South American beers I’ve sampled. Pours well into my glass with a clear weak yellowish hue and the cap was moderate at best. Aroma has a sweet malt characteristic, what should be hops, grass and some skunkiness. Taste is boooooring which made me take big sips just to finish it all off quicker. Too sweet to enjoy properly. I also found what may be a hint of lemon...may. Mouthfeel saves it: average euro swill feel, light bodied and crisp with not much aftertaste and goes down well. More money down the toilet.

Bottle at Dynkky, Turku. Very mineral nose, plain salt mines with a touch of rubber gloves. Similarly mineral, dry flavor with a faint grapefruit note. Light bodied, strong basic carbonation. Not that refreshing, slightly stuffy even, but it has probably travelled for a long time. Plus it avoids the all real nasties, these are still just mild.

From a bottle poured clear golden color with a small head. Typical cheap lager flavor and finish.
