Monserrate Roja
Bogota Beer Company

 

On vacation in Colombia and trying some new beers. Poured from a brown 11.2 oz. bottle. Has a copper color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is of caramel malts. Taste follows the aroma, a bit on the sweet side. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall is the best beer I have had in this country.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Appearance: Pours a clear amber with a nice head that leaves some attractive lace around the glass

Smell: Grainy with caramel tones

Taste: The grain and caramel tones jut forward with an earthy aspect underlying; after the swallow, there is a grassy and spicy character that develops and lingers through the finish

Mouthfeel: Light to medium body with moderate carbonation

Overall: Not too crazy about this beer but I am not a big fan of ambers, anyway; particularly didn't care for the finish

 

This is a simple but good ale, reddish amber with moderate pale tan head. It has moderate bitterness along with light sweetness, some lightly caramelly maltiness, and a good feel.

 

I got the chance to try a few Colombian craft beers from the Bogota Beer Company including this one. They certainly brew good craft beer in Bogota too.

Look: semi-clear reddish-amber with a half-inch white head.

Aroma: a little bit of roasted malts and caramel

Taste: It's malts, biscuit, caramel, and a hint of fruit, mild but flavorful.

Feel: medium body.

Pours a hazy amber color with a 2 finger white head with plenty of lacing on the glass. Aromas of malt, light earthy hops, a bit of nuttiness. Tastes of Caramel malt, biscuits , fruity hops, some earth notes and nuttiness. A fairly light feel with a clean finish. Similar to Fat Tire.

 

Pours a light Amber with a touch of haziness. Aroma is nightly malty with notes of roasty Carmel. Flavor I sight lyricists Carmel malts. Has a solid body and overall a solid beer.
