    12-ounce bottle at World of Beer, in Key West. Highly carbonated, urine-looking pour under a bubbly white head of no great size. Aroma of corn, and a vile flavour, nothing but corn. Flaccid mouthfeel. Ugly finish, almost sour, and not sour in a good way. I knew this would be a bad one, only did it to get another country (Guatemala) rating.

    Pours a crystal clear very pale yellow in color with very light amounts of visible carbonation. The beer has a very thin bright white head that quickly reduces to a small patch of very thin film and a very thin ring at the edges of the glass. Minimal amounts of lacing are observed. The aroma is very light and consists of sweet, bready, biscuity barley malt. The taste is sweet, malty, sugary, and a bit hoppy as well. The mouthfeel is light and watery, and finishes crisp, clean, refreshing, mostly dry, and imminently drinkable. Would work great paired with hot and spicy food.

    I enjoy trying beers from various countries; even if I don't care for them I am glad to give them a fair shake. This one has a rather typical crisp, malty lager smell - not promising at all, but not repulsive either. It pours a clear, wan straw yellow with a white head that dissipates rather quickly. Flavor is rather wan, a little malty but that is it. At least it tastes like beer. Texture has about average fizziness but is a tad watery. Well, give the folks in Guatemala a chance, and they'll come up with something better.

    A straw yellow body with an interesting burst of large bubbles rising intermittently. The frothy head was moderate and stuck around for awhile. There’s some body and a tad of creaminess to this one. I detect ever so subtle lemons and corn in the aroma. There’s a metallic bitterness on the palate. Okay, I get to add Guatamala to my world tour but I’ll not be visiting this one again.

    Another out of the box of undrinkable International Beers...
    Dumped out a pale yellow beer with some bubbs and a light weighted white head. No lacing. Smells skunky and grainy and pretty much sucks but isn't terrible. Taste is pretty damn boring, very weak on the flavor with some grass being the only notable thing. Looking at the old reviews makes me laugh cause Suds sample size was 72oz...lol good on you!

    Clear golden yellow with a frothy white head. Not much aroma, tastes of a little corn and hay. A little lacing was left on my glass, overall its what you would expect, a bland, unexciting third world beer.

    Not knowing the score of this beer before buying, i shudderred when i saw the comments.. but I was happily surprised when i popped it open this champions league day (come on united)... the smell is uplifting and solid for a pale lager and the foam is slightly decent.. taste is crisp and drinkable, definetly some corn and crap thrown in and not the best tasting lager out there but it is at least not foul, its drinkable and simple.. with beers like this, thats sometimes all you can ask for..

    Better than average but not that good. Pours a very light yellow and there's not a whole lot of flavor and the head goes away really quick.

    It pours a simple yellow with little retention, no lace. The aroma is grainy/corn, maybe hops, not much else. The mouthfeel is smooth, expanding, and full-bodied. Flavor of malts, hops, not much else. Very sudsy. Won't go out of my way to find this again.

    I'm somewhat embarassed to admit it, but this one was kinda tasty for a pale lager (more than corn, for sure). Poured the pale yellow color with an initial 1cm head that just died quickly. Man, really watered down looking. Aroma from the bottle was all skunk. That went away, though. First sip was wooo, zingy. Hops? Wow, this thing has some flavor, grassy hops coming through, although not quite to a real quality pilsner level. But hey, for a pale lager, this wasn't a bad showing. Slight acidic / citrus touch to it all. I'd drink this again, despite now having the stamp in my beer passport for Guatemala.
