Ah, the original formula of Antarctica Pilsen. 600 ml bottle consumed at the bar of my hostel, on to the beer:
Pale yellow, as expected. The head on top has a frothy texture to it and retains well on top while leaving some healthy lacing. The aroma is a touch sweet. A very light aroma overall. It tastes a lot like regular Antarctica, though I will say that this one is a wee bit smoother. Light cereals, light wood notes, a light lingering note of bitterness with cereals in the aftertaste. At least there is some flavor in here, and initially the off-flavors are kept at bay.
In short, it is a slightly smoother, slightly better version of regular Antarctica. As long as it is cold, it will go down, but afterwards, have a backup plan.

I think it does what it is supposed to do. A clean and light industrial lager to drink without thinking, while sweating and grilling Brazilian barbecue in the hot sun. So light it seems to take care of hydration needs - which doesn't say much about it.
Pours clear blonde with practically no head on an aggressive pour. Aroma is generic industrial lager with a hint of lemon and orange peel and fermented grains in the background. Mild taste follows the mild nose and I must say it is clean and there is nothing unpleasant. A thin and overly fizzy mouth feel does detract. Finish has a little hoppy bitterness. Overall drinkable.

Average macro pilsner. Refreshing and corn-forward. Somewhat sweet from a metallic taste.
Not bad but nice all that great
