Tastes like a German lager and for good reason. Says on tin Produced/Brewed in Germany. Don’t know which German brewery makes it but imported and distributed out of Florida. Website talks about history of Johnny Cuba. So it’s a German-Cuban-American beer! Nothing special but fine as a 5% lager.

Clear bright gold with a moderate head that dissipates over a couple minutes.
Light cereal nose with some sweetness that I can’t quite place.
Taste follows. Cereal, maybe corn flakes, a few hints of floral hops. Not nearly as sweet as the nose suggested. Enjoyable.
Light bodied. Easy drinking.
This is a very solid lager. Light, refreshing and not as sweet as some of its brethren. I assumed an AAL, but it reads more like a pale German lager.

Pours a dark burnished golden color. Crystal clear and lightly effervescent. full four or five finger, pillowy, thick white head forms on the beer, lingers for a few moments, then dissipates.
Aroma has notes of sweet bread, sweet honey, sweet malts, and some old grassy, somewhat trending vegetal hops. This is clearly not an AAL - and really does remind me of some of the common fernsehbier we see here over in the states.
Taste follows the nose - sweet malts, a bit of honey, sweet bread, white bread, with a grassy, leafy lightly bitter hop finish. There is a bit of hay and straw as it warms up coming from the hop finish.
Feel is light to medium bodied. A bit spritzy, with the carbonation providing a tingly feel on the palate. Semi-sweet finish.
Overall its an inoffensive lager. Kind of an interesting beer to find marketed as a "Cuban" beer.
