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

Vintage Cellars in Drummoyne have this delightful lager. Sorry, say that agin. I mean I have another rate. This beer is South American,. This beer is typical of South American lagers. This beer is poor. I pity the Argentinians if this is their favourite beer. Another reason why wine consumption would be so much higher.

Bottle. Yet another boring latin beer. Creamy white good mostly lasting head. But too plae yellow colour. Ugly bready aroma Bad flavor. Short finish. OK watery palate.

Bottle. Pale yellow colour with a small white head. Weak aroma adn taste. Boring.

Bottled. Poured a clear pee-golden with a quickly-receding white head. Aroma was highly medicinal, with grains, light metal, and faint sweet malts. Flavor also had a medicinal tinge to it... sweet malt, corn, grains, and cardboard too. Watery on the palate, with very little power to the aroma or flavors... I just listed what I could pick out. Drinkable, but that’s about it.

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.

Bottle. Head was spare to small with a white slightly frothy sparkle. Spare lacing. Clear slightly sparkling body. Color was pale yellow. Aroma was light grain, hay, grass and with some notes of flowers. Light bodied with a thin texture and an average carbonation. Light sweet flavor with light notes of bitterness. Short finish.

Bottle from the Beers of the World sample pack from Cost Plus. This one poured a clear yellow with a white head. I thought I was drinking a Budwieser. Not good. A hint of sweet with no hops. Once again, not good.

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.
