Clear yellow, small white lacing foam head. Barley aroma and taste, typical for this style and mass produced. (Houston 201705)
Poured from a 12 OZ bottle into a pint glass. The appearance is a clear light golden color with a medium sized white head. The aroma is almost all grain. The taste is is a nice sweet grain flavor. A very enjoyable beer.
Aromas of grass, light lime, cracker. Clear gold with a quickly vanishing white head. Mostly dry, dead grass flavors, white bread. Light bodied, very clean.
Best El Salvador´s beer prefered by majority of Salvadorans since 1906.
Great balanced taste, 4.3% abv, gold malt lager with a great aroma.
Bottle 0.33l at Ratebeer Belgian Summer Gathering 2016 Evergem, Belgium. 03.09.2016. Thanks Klaas for hosting and RB guys for sharing today’s beers. My 2500 rating hahaha. Pour it clear golden color with medium white head. Aroma cooked vegetables. Taste sourish, grainy caracther, thin feel, light body, average carbonation, ah.
12 oz bottle. #ADCJBG. (Fiesta) Austin, TX.
Clear pale yellow color with a small white head.
Apple juice, sweet malt and corn in the aroma. Bad.
And the flavor is even worst. Corn, sweet malt and sugar.
Very bad.

Sampled from bottle at RBBSG 2016 in Evergem. Clear, golden yellow with a white head. Sweetish, malty and slightly grassy aroma of sweet malts, grains and some straw. Sweetish-malty, slightly grassy taste of sweet malts, grains and some straw, followed by a short, slightly bitter, minimally grassy finish. Thin body, slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Okay, still very bland.
Sampled @ Ratebeer Belgian Summer Gathering 2016. Clear pale golden color, small white head. Smell and taste malts, haysih, straw, light grains, some cardbard. But, it’s still drinkable.
Thx! you for sharing tderoeck. 355 ml. bottle sampled @ RBBSG. Pale golden, little head. Nose sweet potato starch, sugar, corn. Taste is corn, starch, sugar, dough, sweet, stale corn,.. Boyd is starch,… Luckily a bit bland & not too offensive.
Bottle from Chevy Chase Wine and Liquors. Golden body with thin head. Nose is dank, eggy, malty. Taste fruity, malty, weak. Like a low alcohol beer - without the low alcohol. Just terrible.
La cerveza más popular en El Salvador. Para mi lo mejor es el color pero en cuanto a aroma y sabor es muy pobre.
Shared 12 oz. bottle. Pale straw and clear pour with a fizzy white short-lived head. Aroma and taste of corn, apple juice, and light malt. Not very good.
Drinking this for the El Salvador tick. Aroma: very sweet, like apple juice; Appearance: golden straw, clear, with thin white head that immediately dissipates; Taste: sweet corn with hints of cardboard; Palate: thin with short, sweet finish; Overall: will drink enough to rate it; nothing incredibly objectionable about it.
22.5cl bottle. Pours clear pale golden colour with a small white head. Aroma of pale malt, straw. Taste of pale malt, grains, corn, watery palate.
Aroma - corn, hay, and slight fruity hop spice.
Appearance - pale yellow body, with minor nucleation. Head is about 1".
Taste - has a caramel and corny malt, hops are light, slightly fruity quality.
Palate - light body, thin texture, average carbonation, and spiced fruity finish.
Bottle from blutt59 for a country tick. Very dull pale yellow beer with minimal white head. Nose is light grains, corn and stale hops. Tastes of corn, sweet caramel, grainy, touch of apple. Very watery palate.
Backlog from the Brony Bottle Share at Travlr’s. Clear lite yellow. Sweet malty corn juice. Bleh.
Bottled 355ml. -Trade with CH-303 (thanks Asbjorn!).Yellow coloured, medium sized white head, dusty pistaccio in the nose. The taste is usual for that part of the World. Corn, water, light cardboard and little hops with short finish.
Shared with Ogivlado. Just Pilsener so... this I guess. "Lager beer of El Salvador" - such prominence very unique wow! Pale dull yellow/ochre body with a small white head. Aroma somewhere between apple, pistaccio and candy. Strange. Dull, crappy, corky, diluted, stale, flat taste. Would have to think a LOT about reordering this even in smoldering heat. Sweetish, bad, eww. Watery, appley, diluted cider, very very diluted cider-like. Not offensive, not tasty at all. Crap.
Appearance: Light golden, clear. Some fizzy, white head.
Aroma: Grains, slight fruit and malt?
Taste: Grains, corn, sweetish malt. Dry. Not great.
Bought: Total Wine (Sterling), 355 ml, $1.79

The plane lands in San Salvador airport on the way to Madrid. Everyone gets kicked off and told to hang around for half an hour. We dash to the lounge. I hurriedly get out the Weetabix and try to get Meena to eat one in record time, Lakshmi runs to the bar with instructions to ’find me any local beer and make sure you know what it’s called’. She excels at the task, finding not one but two, and amid the mayhem of a baby feed we gave an impromptu taste test for two of El Savador’s finest - Pilsener and Suprema. This one, Pilsener, was very pale gold, lots of head, and tasted of pretty much nothing. That alone was enough to comfortably win the taste challenge! I guess this sort of product is what puts Americans off pils as a style...
