Cristal (Chile)

Beer Description

Cristal Chile is preserved as a Chilean pale lager identity associated with the country’s mainstream brewing culture. Exact first production timing and precise Heineken portfolio relevance should be confirmed before stronger claims are added. The beer is catalogued cautiously within the wider Heineken-connected archive because of Heineken’s Latin American partnerships and interests, but product-level control should not be assumed without confirmation. As a profile, Cristal Chile is pale, filtered, bottom-fermented, lightly malty, and crisp, fitting warm-climate lager refreshment.
