Pours yellow with a fizzy thin head. Smells of citrus, apples, corn syrup. Tastes bland with some minor peppery splashes. Drinkable for a lawnmower beer.

Bottle courtesy of Daknole. Back to Latin America with Guatemala. Pours a very light gold with initial 2 finger white head that fades quickly into a soap scum. Nose is honey and grain with a little weird funky smell to it. Taste is sweet corn, grain and a bit of bitter hops in the finish. Medium mouth feel with spotty lacing. Not bad for what it is.

This is certainly the TOP Guatamalan beer I have had...EVER! Skunky, cornoa-esque flavor. Bonus that my bottle was over a year old...aged to perfection!

[Famosa Bottle] I don’t know... but the bottle I had was pretty good... =p. Sweet skunked funky German hops. Pours a faint champagne color with large carbonation bubbles and a sparkly fizz. Extremely clean light lager flavor... lagers are supposed to be clean aren’t they? Grassy, light grains, funky and sweet with some pepper. Really crisp and light body, sparkly carbonation... very easy drinking.

Pale, pale pour with thin head. Grainy funky aroma, slight citrus and grassy hop aromas. Standard thin flavored lager. You could use this to was your glass out between good beers, or ase an alternative to Guatemalan water, but other than that it’s pretty worthless.

Kind of skunky light lager aroma. Mostly malt. About as pale of a yellow as possible in color. Thin and watery in flavor, and again, mostly light and malty. Bitter finish. Very little happening in this beer.
