An average lager. pours a pale golden tone with a slight foam head. The smell is not very present but shows a few hops. The taste, sweet and somewhat bitter reflects some maltyness which leaves behind no bad aftertaste. A good south american beer, above the average and always a good purchase in the region.

There are plenty of thin, undistinguished beers out there for every occasion, but they just don't cost this much money.

Quilmes, which bills itself as "the favorite beer of Agentina," pours with an extremely white and fast-dissolving head and left no lace as this extremely pale yellow beer went down.

A little sourness and hints of hops that are very reminiscent of about 90 percent of all Latin American beers made in the pilsener style that I've tried.

2.53/5  rDev -4.9%
look: 3 | smell: 2.5 | taste: 2.5 | feel: 2.5 | overall: 2.5

Appearance: Light golden in color, quite clear, with a small snow-white head, modest carbonation, and poor lacing.

Aroma: Mild malt and subtle hops, not much else; rather bland.

Taste: Begins with vaguely sweet malt and a paper-like flavor, this turns tart towards the middle of the taste. Finishes dry with a slight lingering bitterness.

Mouth feel: Quite average, not bad, but not exceptional either.

Drinkability/notes: Severely lacking in character, though not offensive, it could just as well be Miller Lite or Amstel. Greatly overpriced at $6.99 for a six-pack.

Pours a pale golden straw color with a pillowy fluffy white head that fades into a semi-sticky creamy lace. Nose is sweet malts and a bit of stale grains. Very light in body with a good amount of active carbonation. Taste is sweet malts and grains at first followed by some sulfur notes. A pretty boring beer overall. This is my first time sampling an Argentinean beer. I hope their other brews have more depth.

I was expecting something interesting from this beer, since I have never had an argentine beer before. But I came to find out that it is average at best. The beer had a decent frothy white head that lasted for a little bit and then settled into a small white lace for the rest of the glass. The smell did nothing for me, and was a little sour. The taste was average at best, and reminded me a little of the usual macro beers available in the U.S. It would be easy to pound back a few of these but it is nothing that would be very enjoyable to the palate.

Quilmes, from Argentina: pale golden colored beer, with a thick white rocky head, with great staying power and lace. Sweet, light bodied beer. The first few sips are unusual, but the taste seemed to improve as the beer warmed up slightly. Clean dry aftertase, all in all not too bad, but the price (almost $8.00 for a six) ensured I’ll not be buying this again.
