Country of Origin: Philippines
Recommended by: ska-t
Price comparison: 1½ times the price of everyday beer.
Alcohol percentage by volume: 5%
Cute bottle/label? Squat brown twelve-ounce glass bottle with metallic gold label.
Appearance: The color of black coffee, with a light head and sodalike carbonation.
Scent: Brown sugar, cherries, cinnamon toast, malt.
Flavor: Very mild considering its color and aromas; nothing really distinctive, just light and cool.
Impressions: I started drinking this beer, on and off, years ago. The bad news is that it doesn't taste as good as it smells; the good news is that it does have an easy, not-too-sweet finish that renders it pretty refreshing.
Will I buy this beer again? It's a little pricier, but I do still buy this beer from time to time. I usually buy it in wintertime, oddly enough, because it keeps me from being too depressed when the weather gets particularly wretched.
