En lo personal la mejor cerveza de El Salvador, al menos mi favorita. Puede ser gusto adquirido.
Pours a half finger of head on a clear golden body. Aroma is mild, a little candy and grain. Taste starts sweet, then mild bitterness. Fairly good balance. Texture is crisp and fizzy.
Pour is straw in color nice bright white head. Aroma larger with a sweetness. A easy drinker that is crisp and refreshing. Not very special but not bad either.
Clear, pale golden. Small white head. Grainy aroma. Sweet, grainy flavour. Refreshing carb, low bitternessn ok refreshing.
Can from a colleague who bought it in El Salvador - thank you, Karsten! Pours clear pale golden with airy white head. Clear aroma of yeast and hops, with notes of citrus and touches of malt. Bitter, hoppy flavour with sweetish, malty and estery notes. Bitter and slightly estery and acetic aftertaste. A tolerable Pale Lager.
Can, 4.8%. OK dusty lager aroma, vinous in the finish. Clear yellow colour. Small white head. The flavour is watery at first, turning a little vinous. Low to medium bitterness. Chalky finish.
Bottle from North Gate: Appeared pale gold color with carbonation that looked like a 7-up or sprite but even more surprising was that this beer actually created a foam head. Not used to seeing cheap lagers create head like that. Aroma smells sweet with barley malts, corn and rice. Crisp refreshing palate and not as bad as I had expected. This lager drinks clean and is easily quaffed down. The beer actually taste somewhat okay and taste even better when drunk from the glass bottle instead of a pint glass. Affordable too. This could be something I get next time instead of the Mexican lagers.
RBHD Tasting. Pours clear straw colored with a small white head. Aroma of sweet corn, mild caramel. Taste is light sweet with a dry finish, herbs and spices if I stretch my imagination. Clean dry mouthfeel.
Fra prøveflaske, rester etter RBHD-samling på Askje 18.11.14: klar gylden uten skum. Smaker kunstig søt. Vandig og heldigvis nesten uten ettersmak. Slett ikke "an exquisite beer of intense flavour" slik de selv påstår.
Shared bottle at RB/HD at Askje 18.11.14. Clear pale golden. Disappearing white head. Some lacing. Soft, but slightly crude aroma of bread and candy sugar. Waterish taste. Artificial sweetness in dry aftertaste.
Large shared bottle during RBHD geocatching session. Pale sparkling golden body with a small white head. Sugary wet cardboard on the nose. Sweet and watery. Sharp carbonation. Light body.
Shared bottle at local tasting. Clear pale golden colour, moderate white head. Sweetish aroma, notes of newmown grass and candy. Sweetish flavour first, drier cardboard notes in the finish, hardly any bittering hops.
32 oz bottle. (Buford Highway Farmer’s Market) Atlanta, GA.
Clear yellow golden colour with a small white head.
Sweet malt in the aroma.
The flavour is sweet malt, cardboard and mild grassy hops. Bad beer. But it’s a country tick. Thanks!
Pours a clear light golden color with white head. Cereal grain and a bit of lager yeast on the nose; follows onto the palate. Finishes mostly clean.
Big bottle 32oz? In San Salvador. Nice straw/gold color; Light to medium slightly creamy body; Aroma of toasted sweet malt, hay, & grain; Flavor of slight sweet malt, cereal/corn, and grain; Fairly bland.
I picked this up at a local grocery store. It has an extremely pale yellow body filled with a zillion (I counted) tiny bubbles that race upwards to the frothy, sustained head. It has almost no aroma. I had to stick my snout deep into the glass to pick up faint traces of white sugar and grass. There’s not much flavor, either, just a light sugary taste, a hint of malt, and a blade of grass. Very watery. It would be good for brushing one’s teeth.
Bottle from a pretty chill Latin American food market located next to Mekong. The pour’s extremely light gold, champagne-like in appearance. The nose certainly can’t be confused for champagne. Loads of paper and creamed corn. Unmistakable developing-world pale lager notes. The taste is pretty skunky. Not fun. Sugared bread. Bizzarely thick. Cardboard on the finish. Pretty nasty. Light body, weirdly oily. Super fizzy. Overall, extremely poor.
4.8% This is one of the less favorite beers among salvadorans, it’s because they don’t use to like bitter beers (most of them). Nevertheless, this is my national favorite beer. The aroma is very alcoholic and bread smell is strong too. It has also a pale-golden color, very carbonated. Its flavor is sweet at the beginning and bitter at the end, that’s why I like it.
Yellow pour frothy white head. Smells of metal and buttery yeast. Tastes of grapes, malt. Pleasant creamy medium palate.
Plain and simple: I won’t ever drink this. This beer’s taste is metallic, and also has alcohol taste. Also, it’s got a bitter finish to it. So far in El Salvador, this is what I’ve liked the least.
32 oz. bottle from local Jewel. Think I’ll rate this, then use what I don’t want to boil some brats. An almost clear pour, but somewhat yellow in the glass with a big foamy head. Quite a skunky head at first, but that dissipates. What’s left is a nose of mostly corn syrup. Taste is somewhat fusel and "processed," although in a quantity like this I guess it doesn’t matter much. Fizzy and with some bitterness, which at least makes up a little for the very thin flavor.
10 Apr 2013, bottle. very pale yellow, clear, some steady bubbles. nose is sweet lager malt. thin body and moderately fizzy. tastes like sweet lager with faint lemon hops. ok.
Ah yes, I still can not resist a $3.00 quart bottle whilst shopping at Beer World. A surprisingly full bodied lager. Amber crisp golden in the glass. Steady and profuse carbonation. Body is made up of at least corn and rice with barley as an afterthought. No discernible hop line. Refreshing nonetheless. If its this decent up here, then at the proper latitude it is probably magic.
32 oz bottle. Pours straw yellow with a fizzy white head. Cereal grains and light grassy hops. Pretty clean light lager when ice cold.
Quart->SA. Pale straw with medium frothy head. Aroma: corn and lager yang. Taste: corn, grains, metal. Bad.
Pale straw color; Light body; Aroma of malt, & cereal; Flavor of sweet malt, light hops, and corn/cereal; Pretty bland; Not too terrible.
32 ounce bottle purchased at La Superior Mercado in Woodland, CA. Was really hoping this Mexican market would have more exotic Mexican micro-swill. This was the only different thing I saw. The aroma on this is full of corny DMS, with some minerals, and some sulfur. Light grassiness, too. Not so great. Transparent light blonde body with a medium white head that’s pretty strong--surprisingly so. Starts very sweet with corny DMS, and excessive boiled vegetal flavors. Finishes with a little phenolic character, and very light on flavor and body.
Very pale yellow color with almost no foam head. Lacing to glass. Aroma is that of a regular pilsener, taste is somewhat less. Mass produced watery beer, probably good when cold and temperature outside are high. Almost no aftertaste. Indeed a beer just good for the list. (Houston 201208)
Another pale cereal lager, another country added to my map. Typical of the lagers from the hotter climates, light and watery, brewed to refresh. Flavor is not bad, just extremely light.
This beer isn't bad it just doesn't really have any distinguishing characteristics. It is mild smooth and I'm pretty sure it is what the el salvadorians drink in place of Budweiser.
