Gallo, Cerveceria Centro Americana, Guatemala City, Guatemala – Gallo (meaning Rooster) offers a light yellow\straw appearance with a smallish white head. Aroma is grainy with a bit of malt and extremely low hops. Taste is of pale malt, cereal grains, corn, a light kiss of hops. Body is light and carbonation is lively in the style of a beer designed for the tropics. It finishes with a light sweetness and a bite that is more carbonic than from hop bitterness.
