Picked up in Brazil a few days ago, shared with rudzud.
Crystal clear watery golden color. No head.
Nose light toasted grainy malt, straw and little grassy, light grassy hop note, faint mineral lager notes, etc. Light corn aroma too.
Taste brings more toasty malts, straw with little corn but light, mild mineral and a bit too warm on lager, almost but not quite sulfur, just too hot and or too short in lagering, but decent. Weird bitter after taste, more minerals poor lager like, etc
Mouth is quite light, decent carb.

Thanks to JLindros for sharing this from Brazil.
A - Poured into a Kate the Great tulip a crystal clear straw gold hue with a thin white head that fades to leave thin wisps.
S - Aromas of malts, sweetness, toasted corn.
T - Taste is loads of malt sweetness, honey, corn. Lots of bread.
M - Mouthfeel is lightly carbonated, somewhat crisp.
O - Overall this beer was just okay. Kind of what I expected, sweet corn. Meh

With this price, is a good alternative to Heineken, but with more malt and no hops.

355ml bottle poured in a Backer tulip.
A: Pours a clear pale yellow color forming a medium bone-white bubbled aired head. Medium retention and some lacings left
S: Traditional grainy Lager smell with notes of honey sweetness which is a little bit out of the style. Citrus hops in the nose. Average
T: Slightly sweet upfront. Sweet malts, caramel malts. Honey. Some spice? Good stingy and sharp hoppy bitterness
M: Light body. Medium to high carbonation. Citrus bitter aftertaste
O: Quite drinkable and refreshing

Single bottle bought at Costi Bebidas in Porto Alegre, on to the beer:
Faint golden color, but closer to straw yellow in color. Good sticky head on top and the lacing is impressive. Aroma...whoa...back off! Sugary sweet, like sugar cookies. Taste's sweet too...could it be the yeast strain they use in this beer? Sweet flavor, like sugar, out comes flavors of honey and to a lesser extent graham crackers. Also found is a faint note of hops. Still, ths beer manages to remain drinkable without getting cloying....if you can adjust your palate to expect a sugary sweet treat.
If there was a "pilsen" that would give you diabetes, this is it. Not too bad overall, but embrace youself for a sweeter ride than the name implies.
