UPDATED: APR 11, 2023 Backlog March 2011. Unclear golden body under a big off-white head. Aroma is light malty with some fruit, caramel and some kind of unpleasant sourness. Taste is unpleasant with acid, paint remover and mothballs. Practically undrinkable.

UPDATED: DEC 18, 2018 18/12/2018. Bottle from Jumbo Costanera Centre, Santiago. Pours pale amber with a huge foamy off-white head from a bottle that kept giving. Aroma of sweet malt, toffee, grain, light fruit and a little milky chocolate. Medium plus sweetness, light bitterness. Medium body, oily texture, average carbonation.

UPDATED: JUL 1, 2018 I really enjoyed this beer, thick and tasty but still refreshing. A nice unfiltered beer for agreat price that keep its bubbles. Would drink again, would buy again.

Appearance and taste are the best qualities of this beer. It’s pretty light and thick, sweet and refreshing.

Bottle. Thanks Will. Interesting, grassy hops, little bit of maltiness. Nice enough but unsurprisingly underwhelming.

Bottle shared, thanks Will. Big piney hop bite and bitter caramel, not too sure what style that is though but it may be an interesting pairing with spicy chili. Pretty average and unbalanced overall.

Super old bottle bought from the final days of Masuyo (now closed). Drank one week before best buy date. Heineken-like skunky nose with some light grain and pepper. Taste is well-balanced and rather light-bodied, but refreshing. Good bitterness on the finish with some white pepper. Not bad for being almost a year and a half old.

Bottle, 33cl. Murky wheat golden colour with a minimal offwhite head. Sweet, spicy aroma with hints of caramel, citrus zest, green grapes. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Sweet and quite bitter. Very refreshing and drinkable, with great herbal and malt character.

Bottle from Isetan Kyoto. Amber-orange color, quite cloudy, with a tall, fine head and evident carbonation. Very rich, malty nose, caramel, a bit of fudge. Almost more like a dunkel in the nose. Sweet malt, minerals, caramel, peaches, something a bit astringent, light hop flavor, then decent bitterness. Rather dirty in the malt area, yeasty, seems like they used extract. Not convincing. Heavy and cloying.

Rubia al Vapor, quite a nice looking pour - a deep cloudy honey amber with a thick beige creamy head with no lacing but a creamy film floating atop the beer. Malty and fruity aroma, not bad. Medium bodied with a spritzy carbonation. The taste is surprisingly bitter, malts, nuts, some fruitiness maybe occasional subtle hints of fusel. Not too surprising as this beer seems to have been made in February - the height of the Chilean summer. Overall not too shabby. My general impression is a bit more boozy than the 5.8%, nice malts, bitter caramel, a bit of fruits, reminds me of some Mikkeller beers I had ages ago... decent but california common doesn’t spring to mind. Actually as it warmed up it grew on me and became more appetizing.
