330ml green bottle. Pours a pale straw yellow shade, promising billowy white head shrinks rather quickly leaving some traces on the surface. Scant spotty lace sticks to the glass. Very light grass aroma. Flavour is grassy Finish has haylike hops, grassy aftertaste, trace of bitterness. Pretty straightforward, drinkable, better than most domestic lagers, but that’s not tough to beat.

bottle, pours gold, with a small white head. Aroma is sugar and light malt. Sweet malt and light hop finishing sweet with a syrupy water mess.

And to think I really used to like this beer... Got this can at the nearby Supermercado Carrefour here in Recoleta, Buenos Aires a few days ago. Pourd a white head, no lace. Pale gold color. Light pils aroma with a hint of hops. Flavor’s about the same. Bitterness stands out. But the body’s fairly thin. At least it’s an all malt beer. Finish is ok, but forgettable. Just not a lot here.

33 cl bottle. Skunky aroma. Malty taste with not much complexity. Some bitterness on the finish. A bit citrusy also. not bad. Would drink Stella Artois instead. Rating #48

Very light straw colour with a large white head. Aroma: I concur with below - like old beer. Some slight pepper, malt and almost citrus. Flavour: okay, not offensive but not great; peppery, salty, damp cardboard, chemical finish.

500 mL Can. Pours a clear straw yellow with quick-subsiding white head, leaving some lace on the sides. Musty-earthy aroma with accents of wet hay and citrus. Not that pleasant-smelling. It tastes better than it smells, with sweet malt and biscuit dominating, followed by an aftertaste like mixed nuts and mild bitter with a nutty-earthy finish. I’ll keep shopping around.

Pours a bright yellow with a small white head. Aroma is musty, with grassy notes, wet straw, and citrus. Tastes of apples, grass, wet straw and a hint of citrusy hops with an earthy finish. Decent lager.

Poured clear golden with little head, nice light sweet malt aroma. Light-medium hoppy flavour. Crisp bitter finish.
