Import binge, day 4: Argentina

Hi everybody! Welcome back to part 4 of the 10-day Import Binge. Today i'll be doing a rather quick review of the last of the Latin American selection of my sample pack. Quillmes, billed on the bottle as "Argentina's Favorite Beer" is another of the light-lager types that we've seen a lot from this part of the world. From the get go, this brew is easily one of the mildest i've had. In fact, it's so simple in taste and finish, it could almost pass for malt-flavored water. Don't get me wrong, it actually isn't a bad beverage, but there really isn't much here for those with discerning taste. I'd put it on par with the standard cheap American fare like Budweiser, which seems appropriate, since Quillmes is an Anhesuer-Busch product, as of 2006. All in all, a par for the course garden-variety lager. Perhaps comparing it to Bud is unfair. In reality, it does offer more to taste than that. But hey, it smells much better than it tastes, and that shouldn't really be a good thing.

Score: 4.5/10

See you all tomorrow!
