Poured from 12 oz bottle into pint glass. Straw colored, thin white head, mild lacing, abundant carbonation. Aroma of musty grains. Mouthfeel is light, thin, and frothy. Flavor of grain husks, cracker, some grassy hops in the background. Overall: decent, but that's about it.

 

 

 

 

 

This might be the best beer you can find in some parts of Amazonian Brazil. A bottle makes it special. Remind yourself that the beer is just to stay hydrated and wash down the world's best fish.

 

The first beer I had from Brazil and it was better than I expected! Of course it is "just" a lager but it has a surprisingly sweet fruitiness to it that's still enjoyable and not overly sweet. Some might not like this feature about it but for me, it is the very key to its uniqueness. Consumable, fruity, refreshing. All good!

 

L: Very light gold beer, very low retention.
S: Grassy, sweet malt.
T: Sweet water, grass, clearly an immature beer.
F: Very watery, carbonation is on the low side.
O: There are better, wouldn't go for a second try in this one.

 

355 ml bottle, 4.80% ABV, exp. 12/2017. Ingredients: water, malt, adjunct, hops. Very clear and yellow liquid, with little foam. Sweetness, white bread and fresh grass on aroma, all very faint. The same with its flavor. Watery and smooth with a dry finish. A bit too much of carbonation. I haven't taken one of those for ages and now I guess it has improved or maybe got back to what it was, as no bad notes showed up for me in this bottle version.

Can. From Festival de las Naciones. In Teku glass. Playing The Silent Age. No foam at all. Peculiar taste, with plenty of white grapes and a champagnesque aroma and taste, specially at beginning. Then it waters down

 

Nothing I would reach for if I had a choice.

 

I tried this against Antarctica Original and thought this was less clean it has a slightly funky taste and aftertaste. Still very similar and a typical light bodied adjunct lager. Clear light yellow pour with very little head, taste has milled corn and fermented grains and adjuncts, slightly metallic aftertaste. Feel is extremely light and a little fizzy. I prefer the Antarctica Original in terms of Brazilian AALs.

 

 

 

 

 

This was my first Brazilian beer, and it was definitely better than the average

 

 

 

 

 

 

Actually, not the most awful AAL I've ever had. Drank straight from a 355ml bottle.

Apparently, this is *THEE* beer in Brazil.

Smelled skunky at first, but it doesn't taste it at all -- decent. Has a mild corny flavor with a negligible amount of malt. Pretty freakin' bland. What I do like about this beer though is that it has a pretty decent mouthfeel: actually a little creamy. Easy drinking, but lacking flavor. As a whole, in a world full of AAL's, this one stands out a little bit. Not terrible.
