330 ml bottle. From Germany. Clear golden colour with small white head. Grainy malty and floral hoppy aroma. Flavour is also grainy malty and grassy hoppy. Quite fizzy. Nice surprise, not bad.

From 99 Bottles. Poured a light straw colour beneath a smallish white head. Aroma was amazingly beer-like, with some hop notes. Taste was not the worst lager I’ve ever had although sweeter than I’d like at the finish. Mouth was average, just like the rest of it. I’ve had worse from better brewers.

Odd, it seems that after one sip i’ve obtained a headache...I never read about that on the bottle label... Poured out a slightly cloudy light yellow gold beer with an excellent thick, creamy white cap with great retention and 360 degree lacing from the top of the glass right to the bottom. The aroma is dull and very slightly metallic but does have some grain, bread and weak citrus qualities. The taste isn’t that bad after it warms a bit but the underlying sharp bitterness become too obvious later on - almost hot. Taste revolves around corn and grain but the herbal hops exist a bit to large for my palate tonight. Just above light bodied, fairly smooth but my mouth isn’t all that happy. Ends with a lengthy bitter after taste that cannot be muted by the malts.

Sweetly sterile. Not to much of anything really. Its real quality is an almost floral lightness. The carbonations is horrid and prickly which does detract somewhat from its drinkability. Quite bland, another tick I suppose.

The beer looks golden yellow with a hint of brown in my glass, and the small thick white cap lasted about half the beer. A stale metallic apple are the most apparent smells with a good dose of skunk thrown in to, not a great smelling beer at least all the stink went away when the head vanished. The beer tasted musty and metallic but not in a bad way, it has a good malty flavor and goes down very smooth. The beer wasn’t watery feeling like most imports from poorer countries either and wasn’t overly carbonated. I was quit supprised by this beer I thought it would be pure swill and it turned out to be very drinkable.

Bottle labeled Casa Beer @ EPCOT in Orlando. Pours golden color with white head. Slight malt and grassy hop aromas. Grassy hop flavor with mildly sweet malt finish. Medium body with fizzy carbonation.

Casa Beer is a very sparkling golden lager with a small, dense, slightly off-white head that has good retention and lacing. It has a faint, light grain aroma with a note of fruitiness; noble characteristics. It is light bodied and smooth with a crisp, dry finish. It has a light, inoffensive taste with notes of lemon and pepper. There is a slightly roasted flavor that surprised me and a slight hint of fruity wooden hops. This is much better than I expected.
