This is what the younger crowd in CR drinks when they are trying to get f’d up. Basically higher alcohol fizzy yellow beer. It tastes exactly how you would imagine....

can. horrid sacharine, ginger and silt nose, sour corn and dairy notes present as well. same ginger / spice, saccharine and candy sugar flavor. even has a zing and bite of the ginger root. medium-thin body but carbonation is just decently frothy.

gold blond coloured sparkling body with a white head a spicy sweet malty aroma a spicy malty sweet little fruity wattery taste with a sweet bitter finish

The worst beer i had during my trip to Costa Rica. Pale straw color, with a harsh, biting taste. To top it off, when i ordered a different beer for the next glass, the waiter accidentially served me this a second time.

Lightly sweet with low toned sweet citrus. no finish...it just ends. thin bright white head. Corn / Malt / Corn body. Yeah...Uneventful and a pass for most...Stick with the Pilsen and Bavaria light.

"So, if I just read it correctly, I consumed 7 different styles of Costa Rica beer?? Wierd, who would have thhought? Another thought I just had. I don’t remember ever getting any beers on draft. I know it’s a bit more expensive, but i remember having no problem in Mexico findind some. Hmm.. Anyway, this beer is crap but again, another one i drank plenty of in sun. Not a good enough review? My advice, pass on this one unless you’re super curious. Really tasted like a soapy carpet. Sick."

yellow color, smallish white head, not lacy. slightly malty nose with a slight trace of corn. flavor is much the same, corn sweeteness with a suggestion of maltiness. light bodied, sweet finish. a standard pale lager which is most refreshing when enjoyed in the sweltering cost rican sun.

Bottle: Poured a bright golden color lager with a small bubbly head with not much retention. Aroma of corn is somewhat apparent with light sweet aftertaste. Taste is quite bland with adjunct being obviously used in this beer. I must admit that I could probably not distinguish the different lager form this brewer as they so closely resemble each other.

Purchased in Costa Rica and poured from the can into a pint glass to drink. It had a clear body with a thin white head that was short-lived and had some cling. The beer has a slight grainy and grassy hops aroma with a bit of caramel malt and a slight fruity scent. It tasted sweet and a bit fruity, with some sour grainy components. The body was fairly wet and had low carbonation with a thing body. I have not been impressed with Rock beers.
