Bahia Lager
Cervecería Centro Americana, S.A.

Bought a 6-pack in Colombia at D1 for $14,000 COP ($3.50 US). Trying all the beers sold in Colombia.
Light yellow/straw color. Decent head that quickly fades. Smells semi-skunky, non-discript aroma. A slightly "irregular" flavor with a non-discript mouthfeel and corn-ish aftertaste. Had 2 12oz cans. Didn't get better. Not totally awful, but I won't buy again. Worth a shot but..........no.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thin head, clear and light straw colored body.
Smell is slightly metallic with a good dose of honey.
Taste is sweet beginning to middle with a metallic/bitter finish.
Crisp and light body. Moderate carbonation.
I could picture myself drinking one or six of these while laying on the beach in the sun. Better than some but...

 

 

 

12 Oz bottle poured into pint glass

A: Poured kind of aggressive and got a big head that dissipated quickly to nothing but a thin layer. Bud yellow in color with a little lacing.

S: God awful... I thought there was a skunk in my kitchen. Once you get passed the skunk, you get corn husk and grain.... not much else. I really don't want to smell it anymore.... (I might need tomato juice to get the smell out !!)

T: Corn husk, grain and moldy sock maybe.... Nothing really good here. Aftertaste is not any better....

M: Very thin and watered down

D: Is not drinkable a measure of drinkability...

Run away.... very far away. Drain worthy... And I give everything a chance.

Appearance: pours a crystal clear pale yellow color with a 1" fluffy white head. Some lace paints the glass, but only one or two carbonation bubbles rise from the bottom of the glass.

Smell: big sugary sweetness and some grass are easy to detect but is a turnoff.

Taste: very mild malt presence with some grass, buttery tones, and no bitterness. This beer is sugary sweet.

Mouthfeel: light in body. Crisp to start, less crisp and a bit dry late. Buttery aftertaste lasts a while.

Drinkability: this beer is just a turnoff from aroma and taste categories. Part of a mixed beers of the world gift I received. Clear bottle with a cheesey swordfish on the front should warn you to stay away.

Imstillthegman sent this as an Ugly for the Good/Bad/Ugly BIF.

12 oz bottle poured into a pilsener glass. Thin white head, no lacing. Color is a clear sunflower yellow. One or two streamers of carbonation rise from the bottom.

Smell is mostly saccharine sweet. No hops, now malt. Just artificial sweetener. Taste has some hints of a high fructose corn syrup with a dash of lime flavoring.

Mouthfeel is lacking the crispness of other more popular cervezas. It is syrupy.

The whole reason I put together the Good/Bad/Ugly BIF is that I believe that every once in a while we should experience an Ugly beer so that we can better appreciate a Good beer. I am appreciating right now.

I hate to refer to a beer as piss but this beer falls in that category. The aroma is acidic with nothing but corn. The appearance is pale gold with almost no head and white chunks at the bottom. The flavor is weak but what flavor it has is corn and astringent bitterness. The palate is watery. Overall I hate it. I can't even finish it.

Damn you BeerAdvocate for making me come up with 250+ to tell you how bad this beer is. Clear yellow pour with a white head. A barely-there nose of metal and corn, with dirty water. Sweeter than Corona, it requires no lime because the nasty Mexico corn-and-water combo is nearly absent. No aftertaste, very watery.

Packaged in a clear bottle.

A: Poured a traditional macro-gold with a small sudsy head and moderate visible carbonation.

S: a very faint aroma of sour corn and buttery vegetables.

T: starts out sweet with some buttery malting and warm sour vegetables and cornmash. There was a lingering metallic taste as well in the finish.

M: thin and watery.

D: Undrinkable, best part about this beer was watching the other half go down the drain. Avoid at all costs.
