The Bar Towel

Anybody tried this? Noticed it in the LCBO today. And what is it exactly (i.e. who makes it)? Is it Labatt's answer to Marca Bavaria by any chance?

From Argentina, with a 4.9% ABV. Highly unpleasant, and wickedly skunked to boot -- don't approach with catution, just run the hell away from it.

I bought a bottle out of the singles bin a while back. It's awful, vile stuff. Avoid!

As for who makes/markets it, I'm not sure, but it's not Labatt. Their answer to Marca Bavaria is Brahma, a Brazilian lager that InBev recently decided to make one of their three international flagship brands (alongside with Stella and Becks). I haven't tried it, but since it's a Latin American pale lager in a clear bottle, I'm not holding out much hope of it being any good...
