Cabro Extra Cerveza

My second of (thankfully only) two Guatamalan beers I popped open after work.

With the evil that was "Monte Carlo" beer tossed down the drain still etched in my mind, I had some misgivings about this one. Diffierent brewery, but same odd bottle cap -- which, in my mind, means that they must share at least some sort of common parentage back in Central America.

But at least this came in a brown bottle -- and actually looked a little better too (two drops of yellow food coloring into a glass of 7-Up instead of just one). No particularily vile odors one-way-or-the-other, either.

The taste? Sweet and (presumably) corny. Very much in line with so many other beers from Mexico and Central America. That is to say, not all-that horrible, but not all-that interesting, either.

A beer that is strictly "by-the-number", as far as the flavor profile and the mouthfeel goes. Easy drinking, that I suppose would go well enough with chips and a fiery mole´ salsa -- but by itself, it's really quite dull.

If this snoozer is the "Extra", I can't imagine what the "standard" Cabro would be like.

No significant faults, but nothing recommendable, either.
