Balboa

Brewed by Cerveceria Nacional Panama (Grupo Empresarial Bavaria)
Style: Pale Lager
, Panama

Served from a 12 oz bottle while in Panama City, Panama on the honeymoon cruise. THe appearance is a brilliant gold. The aromas and flavors are malty and a light sweetness. Refreshing.

Much better than the same brewery’s light "Atlas" swill, this one was rated at 4.8% and tasted it. A decent swill, and good value for a buck a bottle.

Blonde with decent head. Slightly off-key grainy aroma with some sulfur. Flavor is a bit rough, perhaps sulfur, but altogether is okay and palatable. Not as clean or crisp as Atlas, another Panamania lager.

Bottle. Beer of choice when in Panama though I say not as good as Cerveza Panama. Pours typical pale lager- no details needed. Aromas of corn, maize, faint hops. Taste is sweet, crisp, and refreshing with a slight amount of balancing hops. Not bad whatsoever. The beer of choice at Luna’s Castle.

Best Panamanian Beer. Flavor is good compared to other national beers, but is decades away from foreign beers.

Pours a clear straw yellow colour. I had it in Panama 12/2003. Another iconic beer that represents the country, maybe it was the jungle, maybe it was the thirst for beer, whatever it was- i found this beer tolerable.

I wasn’t too crazy about the beer all the panamanians were pushing to me but it was refreshing for the 90 degree weather ..... definite maize and thats about it your standard lawn mowing central american brew ... visit panama though its beautiful

Drank it in Hotel Veneto. A classic pale lager from Latin America, and the best I have tasted from Panama. Some hops.
