About the Beer:
I finally got to try Argentina’s national beer. Pours a light golden amber with an effervescent head that dissipates to nothing except a thin ring around the glass. First sip reveals an average body with very fine gentle carbonation. There is a hint of corn sweetness but the finish is actually somewhat bitter. This is a very simple pale lager, not hoppy and very light. While it wasn’t outstanding, it was better in taste than that of a lot of countries which aren’t known for their beer production. All said, it is drinkable but not a beer that I would want to drink again.My Own Rating
