Amber orange color with a thick beige head with short retention, but leaving some laces.
Malty aroma with notes of Argentinean herbal hops, hay, some sulfur and mild caramel.
Likewise, flavor with notes of hay, slightly toasted and caramel malts, wood, Argentinean earthy and herbal dunk hops, a sprinkle of bitter cocoa and some orange citrusy. Dry aftertaste with a low to medium bitterness.
Light to watery body with appropriate carbonation.
Nothing memorable, but it is a divergent Pale Ale with clear Argentinean accent. This is not bad, but I am not so fond of their local hops and malts. I liked the water taste of it, no kidding, then afterwards I did some research and indeed this is glacial water.

Pours a dull bronze sort of colour which was amber before I accidentally dumped a truckload of yeast chunks into it. Big yeast chunks. Thin head. Retains well. Excellent thick lacing. Could use smaller yeast chunks is all.
Good scent of grassy hops. Bit of deeper malt with an almost roasted character which I think shouldn't be there in a pale ale. I might be mistaken though and it's just a rich fruity character. Not as aromatic as it could be really, but very nice.
On the taste, there is definitely a roasted character. Deep and full-bodied with a lingering bitterness on the back palate. It's a long unimpeded stretch of a one-line flavour though, and that rich bitter character is all there really is. Maybe a hint of sour fruit on the front but not much. It has pale ale aspects but it's not the fragrant, clean hoppy freshness I would expect. Its divergence makes it unique. But rebelliousness does not a great beer make. In fact, if we were to let beers rebel who knows what calamity would befall mankind...

Lightly cloudy brown-amber colour with a lovely head of beige foam pitted with pancake bubbles. Little carbonation. Decent lacing. Looks good.
Roasted, almost chocolate malts on the nose. Earthy, rather sweet and only a hint of fresh fragrance. Almost more reminiscent of an Amber Ale.
Pleasant English Ale bitterness on the palate. Rich, woody characters and a long spicy finish. Very pleasant. There's quite a solid malt character backing it too. Nice, although the mouthfeel is slightly too prickly.
This is a well made Pale Ale, in my opinion more in the English than the American style. Quite drinkable, plenty of character and very pleasant.

Thanks to jcwattsrugger for bringing this back for me from his trip to South America.
Pours copperish amber with a thin head that becomes a patch. It becomes a bit clouded after the entire drink is poured.
The smell is of caramel with vague earthy/piney notes.
The taste is of caramel with piney notes that struggle a bit to fit in with the caramel maltiness. Some yeast character shows to give it a bit of a bready character.
Light side of medium bodied, the carbonation is somewhat prickly.
Not a bad attempt, just pedestrian, with a run-of-the-mill maltiness and a touch of piney hops. Rather drinkable, but...
