Beer 140 - Club Colombia

Another beer brewed by Bavaria SA and the less well-endowed sister to Club Colombia Rojo.  Bought and drunk this beer at La Cabana, a restaurant in the mist 2,000 meters higher than Cali in the Occidental Cordillera.  The restaurant, and several others on the roadside leading to the high mountain pass on the road that crosses the mountains to Buena Ventura, were built to attract Cali people on weekend who want to escape the heat for a few hours while enjoying lunch or Chocolate con Queso.  The temperature is noticeably colder, perhaps by 12 deg C, the difference between slightly sweating in the valley, to requiring a sweater on the mountain.
The beer is a lightly golden colored lager, with a somewhat weak body and only a slight taste.  It had difficulty combating and in the end was completely overwhelmed by the empanadas and couldn’t hold a candle to the Chocolate con Queso.
