Can... Clear, straw-colored lager with a mid-sized, frothy, white head. Earthy, floral aroma. Perfect balance in flavor. Thin, watery and fizzy. Crisp, clean finish. Thanks to Angela for bringing the can back from South America!

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.

Everywhere here in Bogota. Normal lager smell and appearance. Not real great but drinkable.

Can. Pours a light golden-yellow body with a rather large frothy white head. Decent retention. Doesn’t actually look TOO bad for a pale lager. Smells like hay, lots of corn husks, and sweet wort. Very light flavour that’s actually a little better than what I gathered from the aroma. Sweet cornbread, watery grains, and otherwise uneventful. Borderline offensive.
Thanks to my parents for bringing this back for me from their recent trip to Colombia.

Pale yellow in colour, large white head, good retention, some lacing, lots of visible carbonation. The aroma is quite putrid actually, very off putting, lots of grains, very sweet, pale malts. The only thing not here was the surprising lack of corn. The flavour thankfully wasn’t nearly as revolting as the aroma, the corn is there but not overpowering, crisp but far from clean, skunky. Watery mouthfeel, light body, medium carbonation. Finishes quick, watery and bland. This is pretty bad stuff, no redeeming qualities what-so-ever.

cool, this beer is meant for those 18, very nice. This one was a very clear yellow with little head. I got sawdust and canned pears in the aroma. Very light and refreshing and absolutely no skunk.
