Quilmes Bajo Cero

Tap to rate

Quilmes Bajo Cero went on sale across Argentina in 2011 as a softer alternative to the brand's standard lager. It is filtered at two degrees below zero and carries less carbonation than Quilmes Clásica. The beer is a very pale gold, with a restrained aroma of cereal and a faint hop note. Light in body and bitterness, it tastes clean and mild, with a grainy sweetness and a short, smooth finish.
