Style: Pale Lager
Buenos Aires, Argentina

Pale yellow with quickly fading head. I think that i Actually recoiled in horror when I attempted to inhale the aromas off this brew. The taste isn’t quite as bad but is marked with the crappy and disappointing oily corn sourness which i guess I should have expected. At its best I suppose this deserves an "eh" and there are several brews of similar stature in the continent which have a lot more character and are simply better, this one is not worth a retry.

Light notes of sewer kiss the nose. Pours a bit like pee with a foamy head. Taste is not near as bad. Light clean and uneventful. Still better than Budweiser.

12oz. Bottle: Faint aroma of grains and malts. Poured pale gold in color with a small white head that lasted around the edges. Crystal clear. Slightly sparkling. Flavor is slightly sweet and lightly bitter. Tastes of grains, sweet corn, and pale malts. Light body. Tingly texture. Average carbonation. Slightly sweet, grain and corn finish.

Bottle. Pours a pale gold body with a white head. Some grainy malt and bitterness. Corn and lagered notes. Eh, could be worse.

33cl Bottle. Pale golden color with a small white head. Malty aroma and taste with some hops and a bit overcarbonated. utterly uninteresting

12oz bottle from Spirits Lakewood. Pours a standard pale macro, golden yellow thin body and a medium sized frothy bright white head. Sweet honeyish aroma with lots of grains, white grapes, honey, cream corn. Thin golden yellow body with a medium sized frothy bright white head. Flavor similiar to the aroma with a healthy nod towards grains over sweetness. Drinkable but far from good.

12 oz. bottle. pours a very light yellow gold with vanishing fizzy white head. this smells really bad - is it past the date? no, should still be good. smells like metals even though this came right out of the bottle, also smells like cobble stones which have been urinated on then washed with chemicals. at least it tastes better than it smells, but still not good, like a cheap american 30 rack light beer. worst beer i’ve had in a while.

Not bad not bad.Not good not good either but fuck me if a sixer of this was not just the job after a 12 mile run in unseasonablely warm weather.Clean, malty and lightly hoped.Nice in ’’context’.
