Skol (Brazil)

Brewed by InBev Brasil
Style: Pale Lager
Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil

35.5 cL can at Carneval in Copenhagen. Pours pale and clear yellow. Mild corn and citrus fruity aroma. Flavour is vague yet with a mild bitterness and refreshing citrus note. Mild citrusy finish. Overall a flavourwise vague beer yet refreshing.

Sampled draught at Balcony Bar, Rio de Janeiro
This pub on the Copacabana was a recommendation from another beer site. It proved to be something like a brothel where fat Americans in their upper 70's socialized with young Brazilian girls, boys and something-in-between. This beer was worse than the place. Golden coloured with minimal head. Fruity, mellow and semi-sweet. Boiled vegetables dominate the picture. Awful. Avoid (both pub and beer)

Bottle 33cl. @ home.
Clear light to medium yellow color with a small to average, frothy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, white head. Aroma is light moderate malty, grain, cabbage water, fruity, light hoppy. Flavor is light moderate sweet and light light bitter with a average duration. Body is light to medium, texture is watery to oily, carbonation is soft. [20090824]

Canned (BB 04/2005)
Very pale yellow, almost green color, small vanishing white head. Weak aroma of sweet malts. Strange taste of cutted grass, light-bodied. Similarities to some non-alcohol beers ... awful but gave me a new country :)

bottle-pours a creamy white head that laces. Color is yellow/gold with effervescence. Aroma ? Taste is creamy, malty. Middle of class.

clear pale golden colour, almost no foam, execpt some plastic notes the aroma is remarkabely neutral, sweet and light-bodied, slightly dry neutral aftertaste - miserable and by this mean I understand this is the brand #3 on this poor planet

Can. Clear, sparkling and pale golden beer with a small white head. Flavor is mostly hay, but very weak. Grainy flavor with some unpleasant hops. Even some radler-like notes. Thin and watery body and a dusty and light hoppy finish. (060326)

Can at Brazilian festival near Yoyogi Park, Harajuku, Tokyo: Another one of those thin light beers you really have to be rock sober and hungry to come up with anything worth while to say about it. This one although thin, was a bit tasty, at least compared to some of the other really light pale lagers available in cans. A thin husky nose, light metal. Adjuncts and husk in the flavor, bright corn and a decent faint hop note in the tail. A beer, for sure.
