Bottle-I guess I’m not much of a pilsner fan. The color was a lemony yellow with no head with a slight citrus taste. Not much going on here. Vics 1.25

Ordinary carribean/latin pilsner. Blah. Atleast there was something alittle bit different about this one. Put a lime in it and its drinkable....i guess.

Skunk butt. Pale yellow. Thumb thick head. That is different. Almost like intentionally added sugar or cane syrup. This blatant marketing ploy....made from the recipe of a long defunct Cuban beer...it is even replete with ’awards" that the beer this is created from won and the date 1888. It’s not doing much for me. Just don’t get much flavor from it and I think they tried to save money by using as little hop as possible.

(bottLE) At first I thought it might be Cuban. Had some hops and a semi-sweet/fruity flavor. Good quencher.

This bottled brew poured a large foamy/frothy white mostly diminishing head that left behind a carbonated transparent yellow-orange colored body and a fair lacing. The aroma contained notes of grass malt hops and was mildly astringent. The mouth feel was crisp with a not to thin malty hoppy flavor. It was actually pretty good as a Pilsener not the swill I was initially expecting.

This poured a clear yellow with modest carbonation and a slight white head. The aroma was a somewhat skunky sweet malt aroma. This is fairly sweet for a pils and should have a bit more on the hops side to balance it out.

Bottle. Honey blonde body with a thin white head. Skunky, musty nose. Dusty, smokey, slightly honey taste. Saaz like hop flavor on the finish. One of the better pilsners that I have had.

Bottle. Poured a medium sized white head, sparse lacing, carbonated, transparent, and a yellow hue. Aroma was malty, honey and sweet. Flavor wasn’t that bad for this beer style-sweet, malty, fresh, and crisp. Mouthfeel was somewhat tingly.
