Just like a coors light, has more of a citrus note

I am trying a bottle of this beer at La Taguara in Madison, Wisconsin. It poured a clear golden with fizzy white dissappating head that is not leaving any lace. The scent had grain notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with crisp light malt base with grain and finishing hop presence. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a good beer.

On tap at Immigrant Food + in Washington, DC.
This one pours a very clear golden yellow color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.
This smells semi grassy, with some graininess, and maybe something wheat-like?
This tastes like most Central/South American lagers that you’ll have, not in a good way, but also not in a bad way, necessarily. It’s grassy and smooth, with a touch of graininess, almost corn like, with a wheaty and malty sweetness on the back end.
This is very light bodied, crisp, clean, and very drinkable.
I think this would taste good in a more hot weather setting, rather than a 40 degree day in DC.

From a bottle. Clear golden color with a few white bubbles. Skunky aroma. Light body with good carbonation. Tastes of grain and corn with a bitter finish. Average Euro lager, a tick mark for Venezuela anyway.

Cerveza Polar, i would say is one of the most popular beers in Venezuela. Although there are other brands Polar is the favorite and first choice.
Talking about this beer, light yellow color, refreshing, ABV 4.5, taste good nothing remarkable. Birra for everyone and everyday... cheers.
A couple of days later, I'm going to taste Polar 1941 special edition ABV 7.
Then I would tell you, how it goes..

DATE: July 25, 2022... OCCASION: our first night in Aruba is a success--time to celebrate with a beer I haven't had in more than two decades... GLASSWARE: nondescript 10 oz. pokal... a picture of consistency: its light golden amber body builds a bank of soft, craggy head that leaves behind articulate lacing--attractive, save for the lack of effervescence... sharp, sweet malts, burnt toffee, a bit of weirdly expressed bitterness, candied sugars, and perfumed hops make this a beer that sends a "drink me quickly" message... beefier than expected, it holds its place long enough after the initial sip to leave a softer, grainy finish... a bit more than a rinser, the malts are slightly burnt, sweet and almost chewable--striking for a beer that otherwise requires a tropical setting to be enjoyed... I don't mind that I waited this long to review a beer I innocently, randomly ordered in Russell's--it most likely tastes better in the setting we're in now!

Pretty bad. Essentially less nose than Michael Jackson. Low on flavor. Tastes like cheap 28oz. clearglass lager in the hood in August. Feel is fine for 8oz but it gets flat quick. Wouldn’t really purchase this with my own money by choice if there were other options.

Found this in a grocery store in the caribbean a while back and it was cheap, crisp and refreshing - perfect for a warm summer day. Surprisingly good for the price if you're looking for a lighter beer that's hoppier than an american light beer.
