look: 3.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 3 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3

Appearance - Pale straw body with plenty of visible carbonation. Small white one finger head with low retention with very strong lacing.

Smell - Stale cardboard with hidden maltiness and something herbal but unfamiliar.

Taste - Clean finish. Balanced, though relatively flavorless. A slightly maltier, south american Michelob Ultra. Tastes more like a Vienna lager than an AAL though.

Mouthfeel - Smooth and creamy body.

Overall Drinkability - This is like a lager for a cold day, if there was such a thing. Too creamy to make a good refreshing, crisp summer lager. Not interesting. Very mediocre at best.

A: Pours a light golden color with a nice fluffy head that fades to some lacing.

A 355ml bottle with a BB of June 2013. Picked up from Tesco just the other day. Let's find out how good Argentina's favourite beer really is....

Poured into a straight pint glass. A clear pale-straw colour with good carbonation. Forms a large head of white foam that lasts for a couple of minutes before collapsing to a thin surface layer. A touch of lacing. Aroma of ultra-light malt with faint hints of corn, overcooked veg and stewed leaves. Bland and slightly harsh - not great.

Tastes of very light malt with a dry finish. Notes of mild corn, overdone veggies, stewed leaves and a hint of harsh cardboard in the background. Highly attenuated, with a faint bitterness upon swallowing. Mouthfeel is watery and thin, accompanied by tingly carbonation. Rather astringent, followed by an aftertaste of acrid stewed leaves and cardboard.

Another crappy macro lager, though it tilts at the low end of the quality scale. You can taste the corn straight away; fresh out of the fridge. It looks alright, and that's about all it's got going for it. Aroma and flavour are weak and beset by unpleasant off-notes. Watery body. Not good and not recommended - avoid.

Enjoyed this 12oz bottle out of a Belgian snifter glass.

A: Pours a clear golden ale with a 2-finger white head that slowly dissipates into a solid lace leaving a great trail all the way down the glass.

S: Bread and malty aroma with a grain/rice background.

T: Grains, biscuits, and bread flavors. Smooth with not much of an aftertaste.

M: Medium body and medium carbonation.

O: Interesting lager – went down smooth – just not a whole lot of flavor.

A: The beer is crystal clear straw yellow in color and has a moderate amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a finger high bright white head that died down, leaving a thin layer of bubbles covering the surface and lots of lacing down the sides of the glass.
S: Light aromas of rice adjunct malts are present in the nose along with some hints of grain.
T: Similar to the smell, the overall taste has flavors of rice and bits of grain. While no sweetness is present, only a slight amount of bitterness is perceptible.
M: It feels light-bodied (but not watery) on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation. Light amount of dryness are noticeable towards the finish.
O: This beer doesn’t have a very pleasant smell or taste, both of which seem bland. Other than being relatively easy to drink, the only notable aspect about this beer is that the mouthfeel isn't that bad and it doesn't taste watery.
