Patagonia

Brewed by C.A.S.A. Isenbeck (Warsteiner)
Style: Premium Lager
Zárate, Argentina

Bottle. I must say the artwork was much nicer then whats pictured here however, thats where the goodness ends. A copper toned body with a white head. a corny vegetative skunk y body. Almost hard to inhale its so buttery and diactyl just horrid aroma. Flavor is a mixed sweet corny paper cardboard apple cider vinegar mixture that just screams drain pour and so i will.

Nice looking bottle, at least. Hopping was immediately noticed as the cap came off, and a VERY active foamy white head along with a clear lightish gold colour. Lacing was short-lived but much better than expected. Taste was hops and grass; not terrific but not repellant, either. Mouthfeel and aftertaste both clock in as acceptable.

***review from mid 2008***
This is a terrible beer all around. The pour is garbage with almost no head and a cheap, crappy looking gold beer that poured pretty much flat. It just sits in my glass and begs to be thrown against a wall. The aroma is bad with sweet corn, weak malts of some random kind and some skunk (not over the top). This beer has nothing going for it in the aroma department and even less in the flavor department. Sweet, corn, 4 cents a pound hops, ick, more ick, .....ick. Almost undrinkable and I did pour it in the toilet this time around. A terrible beer without question. Even Argentina must have better beer than this - Patagonia is an abomination.

This is what happens when you let the waitress pick your beer for you, you get an over priced piece of shit. Served to me in a clear bottle, beer was almost as clear as the bottle, very light yellow in color the head was hard to judge because drank directly from bottle. Skunkiest beer I’ve ever smelt, everyone at the table could smell this brew, it was all skunk all the time. Very strange flavor skunk, hops, and mint, not as horrible as I thought it would be, but still pretty fawking bad. When the waitress came over and asked me how the beer she picked was and every one at the table said how much they couldn’t stand the smell of it she gave me a free Duvel WHOO HOOO!!!!!!! After closer inspection of the bottle this stuff is made for the exclusive import to Canada (lucky us!) and the list of ingredients went as follows “water, hops, malt, I think they got the order of those wrong and they forgot to list the ass they added. This beer is your typical south American crap, but the free Duvel kicked ass

Clear bottle, I hate that. Skunky scent as soon as I opened it. Not sure if it’s gone or supposed to be like that. A touch sweet. Very little head, pale yellow. Doesn’t look or smell that apealing. Tastes better then it looks or smells. Very watery, doesn’t look overcarbonated but acts that way. Slightly skunky aftertaste. Again: not sure it this beer is off or I just don’t like it.

33 cL bottle. Pours pale yellow with a fully diminished white head. Milky and mild spiced to floral aroma. Mild cardboardish note. Vegetable and cardboardish flavoured with a mild milky note. Ends flat and milky.

330ml bottle.
Pale golden clear beer with a fair sized white head. Sweet aroma with some notes of grassy hops. Similar flavour. Straightforward simple lager. Not much else to say.

You will be disappointed. Doen’t taste like much. With a lime in it, it tastes like you are drinking carbonated lemon water from a poorly washed beer mug. If you don’t like beer, that might be good.... and I’d choose it over MGD or Bud in that respect (ie i’d also choose not to drink that beer). Anyhow I’m not suprised it is being panned here. Corona is much better, it has more of a pilsner (or.. beer..) taste than this.
