Reviewed on paper 12/20/08.
12 oz. can with no freshness date. Ingredients: Agua, Malta, Adjuntos, Levadura, y Lupulo. Adjuntos? At least I have fair warning. Maybe if we required ingredients to be listed in the states it would bring more transparency?
Pours with a white head that fades completely. Darker gold than most adjunct lagers.
Weak smell, funky hops and corn.
In two words: "Clean corn" (could be a slogan for ethanol fuel). Tastes sweet, very light/watery taste. Hops are practically imperceptible when cold, but they started to arrive as the beer warmed. No off-tastes.
Light, silky, mild carbonation. Smooth.
Clean tasting and $0.49 for one can or $2.65 for 6 at El Rey supermarket in Panama City. I could drink it all day... although the drinkability might decrease outside of Panama, I am glad to be here!

A: Very pale yellow with a bubbly pure white head that creates a pretty fat pillow. Retention is moderate and lacing more than expected.
S: husky, a little corny sweetness, a little steel, and some herbal
T: A little more herbal in the flavor with a touch of leaf, there's a bit of malt and a touch of dryness and less sweetness than the nose. For the style, you could do a lot worse.
M: Crisp and surprisingly clean, expectedly (very) light body.

i drank this beer extensively while at a resort in panama. It's the most flavorful take on american adjunct lager i've tried outside of high end craft brewers in the states.
