Review based on the BJCP2008 guidelines (style 4C - Schwarzbier). Bottle 33 cl - Batch L2617S43. AROMA: clean lager background with mild sweetness and roasted notes with almost burnt character. APPEARANCE: very dark color and almost opaque. dark ivory head with low retention. TASTE: light malt flavour with light roasted notes. low bitterness with an aftertaste that dries out through time. some residual sweetness. clean lager profile. PALATE: light body with moderate carbonation. OVERALL: a schwarzbier that lacks body and some bitterness. it could also drop the food coloring.

Cristal Preta is the second runner bland of Unicer and is sold with a lower price than the company main product (Superbock).
Appearance: clear with a deep amber color. Beige frothy head with a moderately low size that seldom persists (some lacing though).
Aroma: roasted malt aroma.
Taste: confirms the aroma with some toffee notes.
Mouthfeel: dry, strong carbonation, low alcoholic strength and a thin body.
Finish: slightly bitter and kind of short.
Overall: watery, not offensive but not worthwhile. Probably my last one.
