Lokal
Cervejaria Teresópolis

Light yellow color with a thin head that vanished right.
Bad aroma with notes of sulfur, booze, sugar and adjuncts.
Flavor is not so bad. Sweet notes of grains, mild floral hops , carbonation bite, subtle corn syrup and cardboard. Mildly dry aftertaste with a mild bitterness.
Light body with appropriate carbonation.
Despite its bad smell, this adjunct lager when cold is not awful. Once it warms up , it becomes unpleasant.

 

Better than pay more than twice in a Brahma/Skol, even more than here in Curvelo, MG, were exchanging the labels of Lokal for them then to be fooled? It is better to deceive yourself when you do not have much money but who really miss is miles and miles... I felt a hop!

On-tap at Balcony Bar & Cafe in Rio de Janeiro, on to the beer:

Maybe a touch darker than yellow, this beer had poor head retention, leaves no lacing, and has a few carbonation bubbles racing through the body. It smells like "macro lager". Lots of chemicals and lots of overly sweet adjuncts. The taste is no good either. It is overwhelmingly sweet, with all the side effects of a nasty aftertaste and poor balance. It's fizzy in the mouth, and not fun to put down.

After 3-4 ounces, I stopped with this beer. It's been a long time since I couldn't finish a draft beer at a bar, and that includes the times that I've swilled Budweiser with friends. A terrible lager.

Extremely light colored lager. Pours very light yellow, with a fast disappearing head, but good lacing on the glass.

Aroma: Smells slightly bitter/sour, but no apparent hop characteristics.

Taste: Balanced bitterness/maltiness. No apparent hop flavors that stick out, slight sour flavor.

Mouthfeel: Nothing particular.

Drinkability: Definitely a great lawnmower beer. Easy to drink, not a lot of flavor, clean and crisp.

Recommend trying a more exciting beer like Xingu if visiting Brazil. This one doesn't stick out as anything that is too special, but probably a great beer for the locals.
