They’ve been drinking this in Argentina since the 1890’s. Poor sods.

Best sold beer in a country with evident taste for wine. Buy any other make if in Argentina.

Not much too see here. Mediocre taste, aroma, appearance and palate. I tried this beer only out of curiosity. They say it’s Argentina’s favorite one beer, and that goes a long way toward explaining why that country isn’t known for its brewing culture.

Bottle. Medium-light golden yellow. It is hard to figure out what this flavor is. Kind of like cardboard and malt, but it isn’t bad.

Bleah. Nose of cheap cider. Light gold color, odd looking head, spotty, oily patches of foam. Flavor is overly sweet and light, plenty of hints of corn. A bit like a light, somewhat refreshing corn liquor. I could ignore this one and be a happy man.

Not very good. Sweet corn nose with a foul character to it. Very light gold color goes with the light taste. Bad aftertaste, thin and weak.

Sweet flowers almost like parfume #4711. Pale yellow no head. Taste like nothing, as it is notdisgusting it deserves points for this.

This is part of Heineken’s conquest of third-world breweries. Save your money.

The palate was the surprising part of this beer. it is actually a little thick, almost creamy for a lager. clearly this is the budweiser of argentina, and it is only a few steps up from budweiser.

it tasted ok but it reminded me of old style beer.
