UPDATED: NOV 20, 2021 Pours pale yellow with a small head. Nose shows hay/straw, soft skunk, slight menthol note. Very subtle. Flavours are very subtle, faint hay-like malt, little else.

UPDATED: NOV 18, 2021 From a stubby poured a crystal clear gold-amber with 5mm of bright white open foam that diminished slowly to a blotchy cap that laced OK. Carbonation high, lively and coarse to very coarse. Aroma strongly of malt and hints of corn; no obvious hops. Taste is moderately malty with hints of corn and sweetness; no real bitterness. Light body bordering on watery. Smooth with a short finish. Best cold.

UPDATED: NOV 15, 2021 Pours yellow with average white head. Aroma and taste of mineral and metal. Lively carbonation with light body that isn't watery. Light bitter finish to it. Light taste of hay and grass.

UPDATED: NOV 10, 2021 Into a tulip, chilled. Pretty sure this is the first Nicaraguan macro I have tried so don't have too high of hopes for a class leader. Pours a watery, thinly medium gold and bright with rampant carbonation. Head foams up to a good inch on the pour to quickly recede back to a mere wafer on the surface. Malt forward nose; hay bales, chaff, spent grain dust, leavened bread dough with just a hint of stale hops. Highly carbonated on the palate, yet lighter than a dry white wine in body. Something chemical like acetone/nail polish remover comes through - ugh! the malt of the nose all but disappeared, replaced by damp cardboard and starchy rice notes. Drabby, chemical soap finish. Leaves a film on the tongue and this is only two sips in. Rather unpleasant overall. I wouldn't say 'drain pour' but teetering on the cusp. Not good!! (35cL, BB 23/01/22, Dan Murphy's Cannington)

UPDATED: OCT 23, 2021 I had this beer in August 2021 and rated it with 2,75 stars in UT. Nothing special, but my first beer from Nicaragua.

UPDATED: OCT 20, 2021 Can (thanks Juks). Pale yellow color. Sweet, caramel, papery, acetone in aroma/taste.

UPDATED: OCT 11, 2021 Botella de @Tienda Bilbao. 11/10/2021. NUEVO PAÍS. Color amarillo, espuma escasa, Lager industrial mala.

UPDATED: OCT 10, 2021 350ml bottle into schooner glass. Bought at BWS, Glen Innes. Nicaraguan beer in Glen Innes? What a world we live in! Pours a crystal clear pale amber with a thin white head. High carbonation. Nose is heavy on the malt, bit of dough too. Light, fizzy, sweet. The lingering tin in the finish is off-putting and lowers the rating. Not great but not as bad as I thought it would be. A new country tick as well.

UPDATED: SEP 20, 2021 Dorada limpia de dos dedos de espuma poco duradera. Apenas aroma. En boca gas punzante, algo excesivo y sabor cereal y dulzón. Lo esperado
