I had a few of these beers on my trip to Chile. The beer had a light gold color with a smaller white head with modest features. Its aroma was some grassy hops and a bit of barley malt, nothing distinguishing. A decent lightly bitter flavor with some light hops. The beer was on the thinner side, a bit watery and wet and had low carbonation. Nothing too exciting about the beer, but it was decent and cheap.

Nov 4, 2009 Ah it seems they’ve changed the packaging a little. Now my liter bottle has a pry-off cap instead of a plastic screw off one. Bottle says 4.6%. Super pale. Cleaner than escudo, much less garbage. Lighter too, but that’s mainly probably just the lower alcohol.

Aug 24, 2009 Bottle. It’s yellow, it’s white, it’s beery, it’s industrially bad. Indistinguishable from Escudo except in price.

Jul 31, 2009 Pale piss yellow, not much aroma. Huge white head. Mildly bitter flavor, not much finish. Forgettable.

Jan 9, 2009 Bottled, 355ml?, pasteurised, from Mel, cheers. Pale gold with white head. Hard to distinguish from many Pale lagers, thin and corny, a little sulpherous on the nose, sweetish. Not the worst, but nothing that makes it drinkable either.

Nov 20, 2008 Good head, nice color, but that’s all. No taste, no aroma. I guess that’s why the recommendation it to drink it really cold. Otherwise you realize there’s nothing to enjoy. It’s only good for thirst and for a hot day.

Jun 3, 2008 This is about the seventh beer I have tried from around the world that was called Cristal, the previous ones weren’t anything outstanding and this one is no different.

May 8, 2008 Pours gold with a thin film of white bubbles. Smells metallic with lots of apples and sweet malt. A touch of hops are there when tasting this one. Another crappy mass produced pale lager that is completely lacking in depth, except this one is also watery and might as well be a spritzer.
