More of a Canadian lager taste than American but still boring.

Tried this one while on a trip to Costa Rica. One of the "south of the border" beers that is actually pretty good. It sells for over twice, in the states, as it does down there, but I get a six pack every now and then to remind myself of one of my favorite trips abroad.

Pours a clear light yellow with medium head resolving quickly to thin lacing.
Smell is light, sweet grain.
Taste is grassy with a slightly sweet corn malt.
Average lager.

I drank it with lime, salt, and ice, just like they do in Costa Rica. It's pretty good on a hot day to drink outside. It has the typical cheap AAL taste but the line and salt lick it up a notch.

It's good to know that even a place as exotic as Costa Rica can offer a beer as bland as anything found in the States. But I guess most would describe it as "refreshing." It taste fine actually, but it's nothing special. Maybe the taste is not quite bland, but it's certainly nothing to get too exicted about.
