Matt is drinking a Sunny Ginger by Costa Rica Beer Factory Inc. at Costa Rica Beer Factory Inc.
Aroma and flavour smells like spicy ginger, some lemon, a touch of mint. Very lame.

Aroma has gentle lactose, some faint earthy cocoa, and toasted malt. Flavour is more like an amber ale given the lack of depth, with sugary toffee, bready malt, maybe a touch of lactose. Very watery, lacking depth. Poor.

Matt is drinking a Grifo Alto American Amber Lager by Costa Rica Beer Factory Inc. at Costa Rica Beer Factory Inc.
Aroma has bready malt and light sugars. Flavour is rather stale, with old, stale bready malt, not much else. Probably poor yeast expression, who knows what else. Bad.

Matt is drinking a Dota by Costa Rica Beer Factory Inc. at Costa Rica Beer Factory Inc.
Aroma smells more like a spritzy apple juice, with green apple fruit juice sweetness. Flavour is pretty terrible, with stale green apple, old fruit juice concentrate, and some spritziness. This is egregious.

Matt is drinking a Tortuguero IPA by Costa Rica Beer Factory Inc. at Costa Rica Beer Factory Inc.
Aroma has somewhat harsh, earthy, citrusy hops, bready malt, some faint pine, and a bit of a stale quality. Flavour has very stale hops, which still impart bitterness but no real flavour. Terrible hop expression that ruins this.

Aroma has toasted malt, a touch of caramel, and light syrupy sugars. Flavour is somehow both too malty and yet not that sweet, with syrupy sugars, bready malt, and dry toffee. Not egregious but not really on point for the style.

Decent, pleasant tasting IPA. A bit too light-bodied for my taste though but it's enjoyable anyways. Nice hoppiness

Either too malty or I got an old bottle that lost its fruityness.

Aroma has notes of cocoa, earthy coffee, and toasted malt. Flavour is rather harsh and unbalanced, with big alcoholic notes, black liquorice, chocolate syrup, and a touch of earthy coffee. Not much malty depth, balance, coherence, etc. Not great.
