Pilsener



Pilsener of El Salvador, produced by Industrias La Constancia (InBev, in 2016, from SABMiller), was introduced in 1906. This typical, American-style, pale adjunct lager, comes in at 4.4% alcohol. Sold in 11-oz. bottles, 12-oz. bottles and cans, 16-oz. bottles, and on draft, this Pilsener-style lager is the most popular beer in El Salvador.

It receives heavy advertising attention in its home country, and one may find it in American outlets that cater to El Salvadorean immigrant populations.

I have sampled the beer, finding it smooth and pleasant. In 2006, a special centennial version was released.

On the Cyclops Scale, Pilsener is rated at two out of five sugar cubes and two out of five hop cones.
