Palma Louca

Brewed by FEMSA Cerveja Brasil
Style: Pale Lager
Jacareí (SP), Brazil

In the land of sauces this beer is weak, weak-sauce. It had the standard Pilsner/Pale Lager coloring that lulls me to sleep. The aroma was sweet and skunky at the same time. The taste was fruity and sweet mixed with the bland taste that it looked like it was going to have. Oily texture= no bueno. I know they don’t speak spanish in brazil, but I don’t know portugues for mediocre.

Bottle. Aroma had rhine wine odor along with sweet malted wheat. Yellow body with white head and decent carbination. Flavor was moderatly sweet fruit, wheat and corn mix. Not watered down like most american swill. Decent beer.

Bottle. Clear yellow coloured with a white head. Sweet aroma of malts, fruits and corn. Sweet flavour of malts and fruits.

Not much to this one... Pours a golden yellow with light thin white head. Aroma of grass and grains. Flavor is a little soapy, but mostly grain. Hard to find anything to hate about it - but then again there isn’t much here to like.

Bottle. Pours light yellow with white head. It has a weak, but smooth, aroma of pale malts and some grass. The flavor is kind of soapy, as is the mouthfeel. Flavor also has some sweet malt and grassy hops. It’s a bit carbonic with a very dry finish with little flavor. Not too good, but this feels like it has overcome the potential to be truly awful, so I have to give it some credit.

Bottle. Poured a gold color with a thin white head. mild yeast aroma. Tastes like carbonated wet corn flakes. Reminds me of some cheap American beers. Not disgusting, just not anything really.

My bottle was fresh I’m sure because of where I bought it, and I was expecting less, its not a great beer, but drinkable,grassy, abit refreshing, I’d drink it again, if its as fresh as this bottle was.

In the bottle. Pours a flocculent gold color due to the crusty sediment in the bottle. Head is white and boisterous leaving a fantastic and intricate lacing along the glass as it subsides. Aroma of rising bread dough, but little else. Mild carbonation and mild palate. The beer reminds me of the Continental Cafe in Chapel Hill as it tastes like the St. Pauli Girl that I used to drink there. Has a corny flavor, but not much of that. Hardly a hop to speak of in this concoction, unless it has some sort of weird hop that I’ve never heard of that grows on a palm tree in Brazil. This may be a perfectly indifferent beer. I’m at a loss to pinpoint anything horrible about it, and yet it really has no redeeming qualities either. There is absolutely no aftertaste to this beer.
