🌍 Argentina · Pale Lager · One of 62 Pale Lagers in hopIQ

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.

◌ Aroma

The nose is decidedly restrained and subtle, dominated by clean cereal grain notes with a whisper of noble hop character. There is minimal hop aromatic intensity, allowing the malt's gentle sweetness to take a backseat in this understated bouquet.
