Pale yellow colour with a good white head that disappeared quickly. Smells malts and grass. No carbonation. Slight flavor of malts with a light sweet corn flavor and a hint of spicy grass in the finish. Easy to drink and refreshing. A decent pale lager with a distinctive corn flavor.

Bottle. Pours clear golden, with vanishing white head, leaving faint lacing. Cereal aroma, and quite refreshing on the palate with mild hop notes. Not a bad lager.

Can courtesy of Air France. Cereal aroma. Very pale yellow colour. Dry biscuit hop flavour. Sharp on palate. Better than standard Quilmes.

Bottle in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Light fresh hoppy aroma, pale yellow colour with good smooth head. Bland dry cereal flavour. Average international lager.

33cl bottle as Quilmes Cerveza, from Utobeer, London. Clear pale yellow, large thick white head. Smell malts and grains. Taste malts, lightly grainy. An ok pilsener, drinkable I would say. Ok carbo, low body.

Pours clear straw color with foamy head. Aroma crisp and slightly citrusy. Taste simple and bready with a not-too-bitter palate. Nice refreshing lager

Big foamy head with a nice light golden color. Light sweet malt aroma with a hint of hops. Very light body in the flavor, not very distinctive. Slight taste of citrus, some hints of malt and grains. Somewhat sweet in the aftertaste. Not a bad beer. Doesnt have that taste of rice and adjuncts of the big american three, BMC.

Bottle courtesy of daknole. Pours gold with a thin white head. Smells of pilsner malt, some earthy hints. Tastes spicy with a light citrussy finish.

grassy and hoppy. nice bitter tang that is clean and refreshing. low carbonation and looks too light and crappy. finish is refreshing and has a bitter to sweetish thang goin’ on. little floral back there in the flavor. hey, no what?? its not bad.
