Bottle shared at the Bruery. Pours perfectly clear pale yellow with a frothy, white head. Lovely cheap pale lager, with notes of paper, light cereal, hay and white bread. Light bodied with average carbonation. Lightly sweet to conclude, with more paper notes, crispy cereal. Just about what you would expect.
Bottle from tres bonne. Pours out a light straw topped with a white head. Nose is so bad sour corn and wheat. Taste is sweet o so bad.
Bottle. Yellow gold color. Malty lager with light acidity and a hint of hops, clean, suitable as table beer.
Thanks Iris for bringing this back for me. Golden body with slight head. Nose is grassy, skunky and nondescript. Taste is a bit sour, malty and sweet. Okay.
Botella 33 cl de hipercor Oviedo. Lote 09890759. hasta 27-09-2007. (r150). Tomada en 2006. sin mucho que decir con 5.2 vol que se bebe como si fuera agua y además tosca.
My Bottom Line:
Straw and crackers share the spotlight in this timid and dry brew.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A fluffy head of foam covers the clear pale gold.
-There is nothing offputting in this brew, which is rather surprising when one tastes their competition.
-Drinkability is obviously very high; it is their main concern, after all.
-Hops are a no show.
-The soft effervescence and slender sugars make for a pleasant mouthfeel.
Bottle.
Bottle 350ml traded with CH-303 thanks. Bottle was broken so got not that much to taste. Nose is vegetable like with ripped fruit touch. Aroma is thin, light wet paper notes, shy bitterness, strange vegetable and ripped fruit touch.
A pale blonde lager with a thin white head. In aroma, light adjunct corn malt with light grassy hops, light mineral notes, so-so. In mouth, a nice sweet grainy malt with light grassy hops, light mineral notes, OK. Can from Hipermaxi, La Paz.
Pajiza ultraclara. Mucha burbuja fina. Buena espuma. Aroma poco agradable, afortunadamente muy escaso. Muy ligera, aguada. Dulzona sacarina. Final amargo algo metálico. Floja.
Bolivia’s macro lager, with thick, sticky, snow white head and very pale golden blonde colour, cristal clear. Aroma of popcorn, honeyish malts, minerals, iron, some grass. Very neutral, watery flavour, a bit corny and grainy, thin mouthfeel, metallic, just the slightest hint of grassy hops in the finish. Even more bland than expected.
Gulbrun klar med fingerhøyt hvitt skum. Lukter pilsner maltkorn rett fra sekken. Svært lett, noe karamellsødme. Nesten uten bitterhet. Kort
Can. Aroma stale, oxidized. That about describes the taste as well. A touch of damp basement. Eh beer.
Plechovka. Číra žltá farba, bez peny. Vôňa kukuričná, sladká. Chuť prázdna, sladká, bez nejakej výraznej horkosti.
Clear light golden color. Very light actually. But a fine white head that last! Mild malty aroma. Hmm some mild cardboard in the back of my nose. Medium body. Moderate sweet and a moderate bitterness like most pale lagers. Decent mild malty flavor. Enjoyed quite cold. Absolutely fair enough.

A yellow insipid beer, practically odourless. It maybe surprises a light body, when an nonexistent one was expected. The taste is discretely sweet and even more discretely bitter, coupled with this discrete body is the roughly invisible carbonation.
Transpartent gold color, with sweet taste to fresh water. I’ve tasted it in Bolivia and I must say that the one they export is way worst.
Pale yellow colour, promptly disappearing white head; aroma of some hay grass, and not too disturbing wet cardboard; taste is mostly sourish with malty notes and some sugarycsweetness; would be better in summer...
"a little on the vegetal side (maybe old) but otherwise a pretty good, clean lager. last of the beers of the world sixer i fashioned for myself in santa rosa."
A particularly nice South American lager. Very tasty and refreshing when served as a cold pint.
33cl bottle thanks to Erzengel. Bottle reads Paceña Cerveza and is 4,8% ABV. Color is gold. Medium head. Body is thin and carbonated. Taste is light sweet and light bitter. Aroma is light metal, corn, water. I was expecting worse!
Bottle from Selecta Internacional:
Strong word of advisory to just do yourself a favor and only drink this from the bottle because it taste like total ass if poured into a cup.
Poured a light golden liquid that almost looked like an apple cider because of the fizzy foam that died out instantly. Smell is similar to a malt liquor with grains and alcohol. The beer taste awful as expected from what my nose was able to pick up on but this basically just taste like a glass of water with like a half shot of alcohol thrown into it, yuckkk. What a waste of money but I had never had this beer before and it was about 90 degrees and also humid and lager sounded good.
Honey aroma. Clear golden colour with excellent head. Strong fruity flavor with bitter aftertaste. Heavy body with high carbonation.
Bottle from Cervemur, Murcia, Spain. Country #98. Very pale gold colour, with a very short lasting small white head. Aroma of straw, some malt, and citrus hints. Quite thin body, average carbonation initially soon becoming rather flat. Slightly oily texture. Fairly low expectation but better than anticipated.
Cervesa dolça i molt fàcil de beure, ideal per refrescar-se.
Cerveza dulce y muy fácil de beber, ideal par refrescarse.
Typical pilsner. Clear golden color. Slightly stale aroma. Crisp and drinkable.
Bottle drunk at various bars around Bolivia way back in 2005. It didn’t really make all that much of an impression it is an industrial lager that ticks the boxes they do: gold color, white head, mild to no taste cold, refreshing, unremarkable.
Goldgelbe Farbe, geringer Schaum. Geruch leicht malzig, muffig. Geschmack wässrig malzig mit minimaler Herbe.
Can(...Joss!):Sweetish-corny nose with a heavy metallic touch; light sweetish-bitter flavour, pretty watery; short and thin bitter-sweet finish. Presumably used by the Spanish to kill off the Incas…
