| 1.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 2/5 | 3/10 | 1/5 | 8/20 | Jun 5, 2006 This was only 2 months past the recommended date, so I’m assuming that it is supposed to be a little hazy and that it isn’t off (the flavour did nothing to help determine whether it was off or not). Pale gold. Overcarbonated. Quite stinky. Sweet with a ginger ale quality that I didn’t enjoy. cfranz (261), Acton, Massachusetts, USA
| 1.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 6/20 | Feb 25, 2006 Ugh. Wierd smell, very sweet smellling. Not offputting, mind you, but disconcerting in a beer. Just wierd. DYCSoccer17 (2201), Davis, California, USA
| 1.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 6/20 | Jul 31, 2005 Bottle. Aroma is fruity, sweet, sugary and a bit grassy. I can mildly smell a pils in this aroma. Mildly hazy golden color with a small whitish head. Start is sweet, turning thin and a bit sour. Finishes grainy and adjuncty and watery. Mild artificial sweetness to finish. Egh. PorterPounder (3148), Tallahassee, Florida, USA
| 1.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 1/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 5/20 | Jul 8, 2005 Leon Pub, Tallahassee, Fl - 12 oz bottle. Looks like a urine specimen - cloudy and pale - little to no head. Aroma - a bit of wet cardboard and rancid grain. Flavor does not have much to offer - a faint wisp of sweet honey in the back end is about the only thing outside of the cheap corny lager taste. Very thin mouthfeel. Typical tropical lager.

| 1.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 2/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 5/20 | May 31, 2005 much thanks to whoever brought this crap to the beer room weekend. it was skunky, had a corn taste, but damn does the tropical vibe associated with a beer from brazil just make it worth it. Damn glad to have had it.

| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Mar 8, 2005 Bottle, probably from late 2003 or 2004 (not a huge turnover for stuff like this). Light corn and nuttiness in the nose, with some minerals and a bit of light chalk. Simple, pale-yellow appearance with a small ring of foamy, white head. I’m not seeing the roasted barley, though there is some saltiness and something bolstering the mostly light body. Seems like a below-average pale lager to me. Though it certainly wasnt a drain pour, IMHO. Wasn’t skunked and didnt have much staleness to it. A bit of metal on the end. I’ll stick to Modelo Especial for now, though I’ve got a large amount of tropical lagers to get through at my local store so the hunt is still on for a great pale lager!
