Quilmes Cristal

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

Pleasant, fresh and intense aroma. Balanced with bitter pretty that freshness leaves. Refreshing.

Uber-clear. Foam head. Corn nose. Corn, pilsner taste. Thin. Fairly uninteresting. Not offending.

Maize aroma, and flavor, this pale lager’ left a ring around the pint glass. Could be a half decent beach beer if you were at the right locale. I found it interesting the importer to the USA was in King of Prussia, PA, a suburb of Philadelphia.

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.

Clear yellow with a fizzy and soapy white head. Aroma slightly soapy, possibly a little cork-like as well. Flavor is bland with a generic lager flavor.

Bottled. Darker golden colour with a white head that dissolves into nothing. Very light aroma of malt and not much else. Okay flavour, slight citrus with an orange finish. Not great.

Crisp, light malt aroma. Watery with some noticable hops. Clean but bland. Some lacing.

Pale clear yellow color, small white head. Standard lager aroma. A little malt flavor, but its pretty close to water. No bad flavors or aftertaste.
