Brought back from Cuba by a friend (thanks Jennifer).

From a brown bottle, which I was quite surprised at. Pale gold, slightly hazy, average head and carbonation. Aroma corny to a degree, nothing much else. Some hop flavour in the taste, which is quite mild. A slight metallic tang in the finish isn't appealing. Carbonation dissipates to quite a low level, so there's not much harsh gas bite which is a bonus.

Not great but there are far worse lagers out there. Drinkable, and quite good for a hot day.

Can, ABV 5.4%, RBNAG 2009 in Vatlandsvåg. Pale golden colour, low head. Aroma of over-boiled vegetables and maize. Typical industrial pale lager flavour with a tolerable bitterness.

Al vertirla se nota una espuma cremosa y gaseosa. A la vista tiene un color claro y su aroma es herbáceo con un pequeño dejo frutal. En boca es acuosa, agridulce con una sensación áspera. Mala.

Serving Type: 355 ml Can (Bought at Kiki's Club in Varadero, Cuba)

L- Pours a slightly darker yellow than the average AAL. Topped by a 1 finger white head. Good retention.

S- Caramel, light grain, and a good bit of grassy hops.

T- Identical to the smell. Well balanced and quite flavourful compared to the other Cuban brews (Cristal, Presidente, etc).

F- Light but not enough to be watery. Moderate and steady carbonation.

O- A very good AAL that is definitely better than any American/Canadian AAL that I know of. Still an AAL, but definitely more lively and tasteful than the average BMC fizz water.

355ml Can in Santa Clara, Cuba (1 CUC):
A definite basic lager but an enjoyable one for what it was; I was expecting this one to be a lot worse than it proved to be prior to opening it. The beer was light & semi-sweet with some basic corn & vegetable adjuncts coming through alongside a light bitterness & touches of hay. It was inoffensive & very easy to drink, particularly while sitting in the Cuban sun; a welcome first Cuban beer & one that I ended up going back to several times over the course of my two weeks in the country.

Clean optional, more flavour than other island beers. Overall very refreshing.
