Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8 Pours a deep ruby red nearly brown color with a light just off white head, the head faded fast giving almost no lacing. The aroma is of roasty malt and darker fruit flavors of cherry and some raisin. The taste is a sweeter malty flavor meets the tongue. The good roastiness has breadiness in the taste as well. Toward the middle of the taste some sweeter fruit flavors. I really enjoy the Hofbrau brand. |

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8 pours a nice clody golden orange body with a thick white head that quickly fades but a little remains ontop of the beer. The aroma is of a lot of hefeweizen yeast! The smell is super fruity and just really nice. There is also a bit of grain on the nose too. The taste is a perfect combination of of malt and fruity yeast. There is so flavor in this beer, but it is perfectly controlled. The mouthfeel is so smooth and just has a nice amount of crispness on the back of the throat. It does leave a full, dry feeling in my mouth. |

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6 Pours cola brown producing a small head that dissipates quickly leaving a ring of foam with very little lacing remaining.

At the end the yeast binds all the flavors to a nice finish. A very drinkable everyday Hefeweizen. Great job! |

216 | Cerveceria Cerveza Monterrey | Guatemala | Pale Lager | 2.0
Aroma: 5 | Appearance: 3 | Mouthfeel: 4 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 4 pours a very clear, pale yellow body with a bright small white head with good head retention and lacing. The aroma reeks of the musty smells of adjuncts. I don't detect any hops but do detect some rice and corn. The taste is nearly flavorless. I do taste some hops in the aftertaste. Helps to put some lime in it. The mouthfeel is OK and the carbonation is actually refreshing. Better when served ice cold and with a lime, basically a cheap version of Landshark or Corona. Drinkability: I'm sure I would find this beer quite adequate if I lived in Guatemala. This beer doesn't taste, smell, or look bad it just lacks any type of character. |

217 | Famosa | Guatemala | Pale Lager | 3.2
Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 6 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. |

218 | Prestige Lager | Haiti | Pale Lager | 2.9
Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6 pours a crystal clear lager yellow with some lacy head. The aroma is of weak lager with malts hiding behind corn, a bit of a vanilla note as it warms. The taste surprisingly, pretty good. It's somewhere between a very "basic" American lager and a "typical import". The corn is still present, but it's sufficiently bitter and complex, not to mention extremely refreshing. Lime on the finish, with even more astringent bitterness on the aftertaste, calming down to the corn again. The mouth feel is really ideal for summer drinking or eating rich foods. Extremely crisp and pleasant, light bodied with delightful carbonation. |

219 | Einstök Icelandic Toasted Porter | Iceland | Baltic Porter | 3.2
Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 6 Pours near black with ruby brown edging while the head sits about a inch thick with fair retention, resulting in a broken layer of suds across the surface. Spotty lacing with little stick. The aroma has that classic roasted euro aroma; notes of toffee and caramel. A little sharp. Faint chocolate. The taste has moderate notes of roasted malt and caramel with light touches of toffee upfront. A ghostly trace of mentholated tobacco in the finish. The mouth feel is medium in body with lively carbonation. Goes down well enough. I must point out that Stouts and Porters are my least favorite style of beer. |
