Bavaria Brewery, Columbia (Owned by SABMiller)
German Styled Pilsener 4.0% ABV Brown Glass Bottle 330ml
$2.05 (Canadian) at LCBO.
"Aguila" means eagle in Spanish. That is the majority of the information I could find on the web about this beer. Brewed by the Bavaria company, which was started in 1889 as Kopp's Deutsche Brauerei Bavaria and Aguila was launched in 1913. Bavaria was one of the largest Brewing operation in South America when it was purchased by SABMiller in October 2005. The beer's website although seems to contain nothing about the beer except a warning in Spanish that drinking to much "es perjudicial para la salud" (hazadous to the health). And they have something called "Las Chicas Aguila 2011" I won't explain... just click over and see.On to tonight's tasting:
Clear gold in colour with an off-white head made up of small bubbles. Head is very narrow and short lived. Oily hoppy aroma light citrus herbs and mineral. First sip is light and clear. Mineral character of the water stands out, sharp bitterness, and herbal, with a stale finish. Aeration brings out florals and herbals. Aftertaste is bitter herbs.
Impressions: Fail, So-so, Pass, Exceptional
Cost: 5/6 PASS
Colour: 3/6 SO-SO Beer Style: 3/6 SO-SO
Re-Order: 3/6 SO-SO
Experience: 4/6 PASS
Final Thoughts: Unremarkable, probably best left to the beaches of Columbia, where a light crisp beer like this deserves to be drunk.
