    Pours clear gold with thin bright white head. The aroma is sugar sweet table sugar, floral hops and a bit of cereal. Very mild aroma, thankfully. The taste has unexpected and welcomed earthiness and tobacco. Interesting. Along with solid earth, tobacco and some smoke are notes of floral hops and spicy hops along with an undercurrent of cereal and sweet malts. The unexpected smokiness and earthiness makes this an interesting brew.

    Clear yellow, short lasting white foam head. Typical pilsener aroma and taste, nothing special. Just a nice country tick and wish I was drinking this in home country. (Velp 201610)

    From 99 Bottles of Federal Way, WA. Poured a clear light-to-medium gold beneath a smallish white head. Aroma was oddly sweet, spice maybe? Tasted better than it smelled, like an average pale lager. Mouth and finish were average as well, but by no means a repulsive swill. I'd drink this again in a pinch, with no objections.

    A light, clear yellow bodied beer. A medium sized sized foamy white head with no hang time. Settles quickly into a soapy film. The carbonation is intense. Kinda fun watching the bubbles rise to the top. A lot of sweet malt with citrus notesin the smell. The malt and bittering of the citrus dominate the taste. Clean crisp mouth feel. Actually went well with my fish and couscous dinner

    (Pacena Centenario). Golden colour, mediumsized white bubbly head. Cooked vegetables and malts in the aroma. Flavour is sweet malts with some very leathery hints. I have had way worse tropical lagers than this one.

    I know I've said this with some of these recent swills, but this one poured with really the least color I've ever seen. There was a somewhat stable pillowy head that kep this one from being totally ugly. The aroma was of sweet grains and corn. The flavor was sweet and spicey, the latter very unexpected. Unfortunately, rather than just being your every day corn swill, this thing had a nasty band-aid like aftertaste that killed it. Mouthfeel was about average for the style, a touch thin.

    For every over-rated dud I drink (read: yesterday's Windhoek), there are quiet little beers like this that do a good job at quenching a thirst after a long workday (the first real workday of the new year, no less).

    I didn't expect much from this, but was pleased with my first impressions, even if the appearence is nothing to be thrilled about.

    Clean and very unobtrusive aroma -- perhaps a hint of grain or grass here and there, but certianly nothing out-of-sorts.

    Slightly spicy in the mouth (Saaz?), that was an unexpected and pleasant surprise. Clean in the mouthfeel, with a fair amount dry crispness that I tend to enjoy in Lagers.

    Quite drinkable -- this went entirely too quickly IMO. :)

    A surprisingly enjoyable beer, from a country I wouldn't have thought much about, beerwise. Too obscure for day-to-day drinking (I don't exactly expect to see it taking over shelf space from the crappier beers of Mexico, for example), but a worthy beer from an unexpected source.

    This beer poured very gold..with a huge head which lingers quite some time..nice to look at. Nice malty smell..some lemon in their too ..but little..good srtong a roma for a lager. Taste however is on the average side..though unlike American macros there is not so much additives noticable. Feels nice in the mouth which is strange given its lively carbonation..but it feels good. Very drinkablke beer..wouldn't say no if i were offered this. A nice surprise from Bolivia
