2.2 Tropisch biertje voor een tropische dag zoals vandaag. Tot nu toe de heetste dag van het jaar. Fris helder citroen zurig/zoet limonade biertje met een lichte smaak van rum. Licht met nauwelijks een bitter en helaas super flauw van smaak. Limonade geur met een licht hint naar bier. Helder geel, weinig koolzuur en een kleine witte schuimkraag. Ik hou best van een zomers Corona of Desperados biertje. Maar deze valt echt een beetje tegen.... Hohoho er mag best wel wat meer rum in kapitein!!! Fles @ Proefglas

2.6 2020 - 07 - 11 330ml bottle. yellow colour. almost no head. lemon, orange and candy in aroma. sweet taste with sour hint. rum not really present...

2.0 Piana kremowa drobno i średnio pęcherzykowata. Barwa złota klarowna. W smaku i aromacie delikatny rum ale bez jakiegoś szału

1.9 Golden colored. Sparkling clear. Smells of wax. Has hints of sewers, wind and lemonade. Very sweet with low bitterness. Tastes unnatural.

1.9 Bottle from Biedronka. Brewed and Bottled by AB-InBev Belgium. na szczescie tego rumu nie wiele sie czuje, nie drazni az tak sztuczna slodkosc jak w innych lagerkach. Cos jak popijac desperadosa zagryzajac slabo dojrzalymi tzn wysuszonymi rodzynkami. Juz lepiej chlodzic sie sernikiem na zimno mojej mamy niz z tym piwem z czaszka na kapselku.

3.0 Na pewno lepsze od corony więcej smaku

3.5 Every beer has it purpose and it is for specific situations. For example in the middle of winter you must drink some Belgian Stong Ale. In the beach under the sun you must drink one refreshing Lager. In the "Wacjken" festival you must drink some decent "Weissbier". And in some beach bar in "Cuba" you must drink beers like "Cubanisto" and "Desperados". Every beer has some unique aura and feeling. So i feel the ratings are not objective against some beers. The rate system is not fair on these beers too. And for that they had so bad ratings despite they are the perfect beers in some situations. Anyway the aroma is very sweet with puchy "lime" and "Caramel" ingredients. The taste is the same but you get much more "lime" and sugar. Really the beer is very sweet and remind you some coktail. The moutfeel is decent and the carboration great. The finish has short duration and you get some sour taste in your mouth. Overall "Cubanisto" hasen't the best mouthfeel or the best complex and rich taste. But is the perfect beer for some beach bar and that is very important.

2.4 09.05.2020 - 0.5l can from coop pronto in sargans, 2.50 fr. from the can. aroma of rum, lime, cane sugar, some booze (or is it rum flavouring?). sweetener in the aftertaste. sweeitish, citrusy, a bit artificial.

1.3 (bottle) Aroma: artificial lemon note, rum-like smell, grains. TasteL sweet, flavour of lemon, sweet grainy/batch-like note, rum flavouring. Palate: light body, medium carbonation. Overall: Meeh

2.1 Review: 500ml bottle of Cubanisto: 5.9% vol. This “rum flavoured beer” comes in an interesting can, deep purple colour, with a menacing looking skull, looks interesting and stands out. Does come in bottles as well and apparently the logo glows under UV lightning making it stand out at night, all part of the marketing schtick, the spookiest beer out there……..which also I imagine looks interesting for the nighthawks in a club. Described by AB InBev’s marketing gurus as “inspired by the vibrant spirit of the Caribbean…with a fresh taste of citrus, orange zest and lime, accentuated by the aroma of caramalised cane sugar and treacle”. A Cuban style lager with rum from the island of Youth. They also add “Remember Cubanisto rewards the curious and favours the bold”, whatever the fuck that means. It’s just a beer at the end of the day! On the pour I am getting a nice golden coloured beer with a very small white head. Not so hot in the appearance, flat, disappointing even. As expected getting the sweet fruits on the nose and, of course, the rum, the rum, the rum………..not bad For the taste it is very fruity, and very sweet as well. Bit of a citrusy flavour off it. Also can definitely taste the rum for sure. Nice and tasty beer to relax on a hot day. The alcohol is very well hidden, barely noticeable, so easy to drink it doesn’t feel like a beer at all. Some trick considering its 5.9% vol. Overall it’s all fruits, the lemon n lime, the orange, and don’t forget the rum, all very sweet and sugary but it is ok to drink. Not brilliant but nice enough for a few in the summer. Never tasted like a beer, more like a sweet fruit juice with a slight kick. Not too bad, but not sure if I’d be bothered to buy again though. I do like to taste alcohol in my alcohol!

2.5 Barwa: złota, klarowne. Piana niska, szybko znika do zera. Aromat: ruski szampan, zielone jabłko, rum, sok jabłkowy, limonka, cytryna, nieliczne nuty słodowe. Smak: słodki, zielone jabłko ale takie z piccolo, ruski szampan, limonka, cytryna, rum, kwaskowe na finiszu. Wysycenie wysokie, ciało nisko średnie. Schłodzone jest przyjemne do picia, ale w kategorii drink, jako piwo porażka.

1.4 zpach niezbyt trafiony, słodki, nuty soku śliwkowego, ruskiego szampana i gdzieś w tle aromat rumowy do ciast. lekko kwaskowy. kolor złoty, klarowny, piana biała, skąpa i króka. w smaku dośc słodkie, skórka z limonki, bardzo tani rum, kwaskowe nuty, trochę ruskiego szampana, sporo kukurydzy, lekki kokos i dość sporo chemii. goryczki praktycznie brak. w ustach pozostawia bardzo lekki chemiczny film. nasycenie umiarkowane.

1.4 Aroma : Lightly toasted sweet caramel malt, lashings of lime citrus, can't say there's any rum though! Taste : Just like a good old fashioned lager & lime. Still not picking up any rum though. Thin but refreshing on hot afternoon!

1.4 backlog from summer: clear golden colour, large, dense white head; aroma of canned apple, apple peel and some malts; taste also has strong canned apple notes and some artificial rum notes - more like a Sweet apple cider than a beer based on its taste and aroma, which is really strange

5.0 Love it, my favourite beer personally, fruity taste, best in a bottle with a orange wedge

0.9 Sample at TCrBF2019, Tallinn. Colour is clear orange with small white head. Aromas and flavours: Sweetness, artificial rum, paper.

2.2 Crete, Greece from local supermarket Golden color flat white head. Cheap apple juice aroma and flavor, with artificial rum notes.

2.5 Lite märklig smak men ändå helt ok. Drack denna första kvällen i Frankrike på en weekend.

2.0 Color amarillo translúcido con espuma alta blanca de buena retención y residuo medio. Aroma ligero a limón. Sabor a cítricos, ron y minerales con un toque a destilado genérico. Acidez muy ligera de regusto corto. Textura acuosa, cuerpo ligero y carbonatación media. Una cerveza de verano tipo Desperados pero de ron, de alcohol mejor integrado, sabor suave y sin carácter.

0.5 Not a beer at all. Lemonade plus alcohol, nothing to do with a beer idea and concept. Shit.

1.0 Can (TCrBF 2019). Straight from the can. Sour, acidic, lemon, sweet, rum essence in aroma and in taste. Nope.

1.8 Clear, golden, doam disappears immediately. Smells of corn and some artificial sweetener. Tastes of malty water with some of the typical beer-tequila flavour. Bitter, but not in a hoppy good sense. 5.9 ABV, but still has some liquorish aftertaste.

2.2 z rumem, smakowe

1.7 Can at TCrBF 2019. Pours golden. Aroma and flavor are sour rum flavoring. Feels very watery, i guess no malts were used. This is bad.

1.4 Can Tcrbf. Golden colour, small white head. Artifical rhum aroma. Light-bodied. Rhum essance, not much else. No malts or hops.

1.3 Cerveza Lager industrial aromatizada. Rubio pálido brillante, muy carbonatada y cuerpo escaso. Sabor raro y procesado.

2.5 Bière industrielle aromatisée. Vraiment pas génial! Un truc à donner mal à la tête.

4.3 Muy rica, suave sabor a ron

2.0 Klares gelb luftiger schaum, in der Nase etwas rum süsslich, süß ohne Biergeschmack etwas rum vlt im Abgang viel Süßstoff , naja
