El Bolson Blanca Tradicional (Rubia)

Brewed by Cerveceria Artesanal El Bolson
Style: Pilsener
El Bolson, Argentina

Imbibed in December 2002. Light honey aroma. Clear yellow gold color with thick white head (large bubbles and fades to a thin head with some lacing). Some intial hoppy flavor followed by honey and a faint malt aftertaste. As per Linc's comment, this has the same sweetness and flavor as a lot of their beers. They use the same hops and malt in all of their beers.

Bottle. Clear, golden beer, with an off-white head. Some hops in the aroma, but caramel and butterscotch dominates. In the flavor, the bitterness is overpowered by the sweet caramel and butterscotch. Medium body. Decent, but too buttery, Quite interesting in a way, but I’m not quite sure what I think of it. (070914)

Bottle. Golden colour with an off-white head. Aroma is sweet, malt, butterscotch. Flavour is sweet, malt, butterscotch, caramel, hop.

Mine was a touch sour and I wondered if it was supposed to be that way. Fairly light malt and hop body. Not really an amber at all, more of a wheaty lager by my reckoning.

Pretty average, sweet lager. Has reasonable body but has a similar flavour/excessive sweetness to the rest of the El Bolson stuff.

Hazy straw. Toasty and a little dry. Some off-flavours indicate perhaps a little old. Light, starter micro beer.

Bottled. Hazy golden, rocky head. Citric nose. Dryish and lemony with medium body. Low on hops, some passion fruit, some signs of very early infection. Low bitterness.

Poured a hazy yellow color with a medium sized white head. Sulphur hits the nose first, yeasty. Sweet and tart malt. The flavor is of tart malt but over the flavor is light as is the body.
