Poured pale yellow with a smallish head. Light, with very little flavor. Typical mass produced Latin American beer. A shame.

This beer is one of the better Colombian lagers. There is actually a taste of grassy bitterness and the beer goes down very easily. No offensive qualities to this beer.

I like to think of this as a cheap knock-off of Red Stripe. It has the same sort of bottle, same Caribbean marketing idea....but just doesn’t taste the same. It is popular though, and I found it everywhere I went in Colombia. I found the taste to be a bit overwhelming...a little skunky....just not enjoyable. Not terrible, but I didn’t really enjoy drinking it. I’d rather stick to aquardiente.......

A tiny 250 mL bottle brought back by my GF’s mom. A pale lager with a creamy white head. Light corn aroma. In mouth, crisp in mouth, refreshing and inoffensive.
