Brewed by Grupo Empresarial Bavaria (SABMiller)
Style: Low Alcohol
Bogota, Colombia

Serve in English pint, Shaker

Dark in color? No. This is an orangish color. This is basically the flavor of a light cream soda but without the appearance in terms of consistency and head. It´s actually pretty easy to drink and better than any lemonade shandy I´ve ever had. Better than a lot of the bavaria beers too.

A dark cola like drink with a thick white head. An unpleasant aroma of chemical vanilla, white cake icing, apples, and colt cigars. In mouth, a rather sweet malty pop, sickly sweet, corn syrup, with no body, just a load of chemical sweets. Bad! Bought at Carrefour Bogota, for 600 COP. Shared with Probstk, April 2 2009.

330 cm3 can shared by Lubiere (merci!), served cold in a tulip glass. AP02/09.

App.: Light amber, clear, small white head. Aroma: Bizarre and sweet – vanillin, Colt cigarillos, somewhat fruity, a bit chemical/synthetic, wet cigar ash. Palate: Medium body and effervescence. Flav.: Cardboard, artificial peach and strawberry, vanillin, oddly fruity; brutally sweet (sucrose), no bitterness.

Wow. Bad.

Indeed low beer taste but it is sweet, not as disgusting as other Shandys. It is somewhat malty and dark golden.

Can: a mixture of colombiana and beer, an acquired taste, sweet very much soda little beer presence,
