Ron's beer review from Roatan, Honduras part II

The second beer I had a chance to try is called "Imperial". It is made by the same brewer as was "Port Royal Export" which is Cerveceria Hondurena, SA / BevCo LTD. The only difference that I could find was that this beer is made in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, whereas the others aren't specifically listed and they have different addresses. Regardless, we are going to see a theme here as all of the Honduran beers are made by the same brewing company. Imperial fits into the Pale Lager category and falls a bit short of this mark. The pour is a very watery straw color with very little head. It is very light on any malt flavors and the hops are all but nonexistent. The finish is bitter and dry. 

That being said,  there was something very refreshing about having one on the boat back to shore after a long day of diving!  If you come across it, give it a sip but don't cross the road to try it. 

Another review soon! Check back! 

Slangevar!

Ron's Beer Reviews from Roatan, Honduras

The beers of Roatan are few in number but vary widely in taste. There are no American beers on the island, only beers brewed here in Honduras. There are only three to choose from, so you have to pick one you like and stick with it.

The first one I had was a Port Royal Export which is a Dortmund Style Lager brewed in Honduras by Cerveceria Hondurena, SA / BevCo LTD. Dortmund style lagers were made popular in the 19th century in Dortmund, Germany. It was created by a brewmaster named Helmut Lutz (great name for a brewmaster). Made popular in the 19th century in Dortmund, Germany, these pale golden lagers have a clean and crisp taste with a bitterness like a German pilsner. All in all, a great summer beer to have on a hot day or in the shower after a long hard day!  Slangevar!
