- Pour: The Cultura pours a clear golden-yellow with a billowy, bright white, 2-finger head with great retention and lots of sticky, intricate lacing.
- Nose: The nose is a characterized by grainy, fruity, and malty aromas. There are aromas of cracked wheat, light cereal grains, corn meal, lemon zest, a hint of apple, and a hint of honey.

- Mouthfeel: Light in body and well-carbonated, the mouthfeel is very smooth with a crisp and refreshing profile. The finish is dry and very clean.
Overall pairing: Along with the name, the Ogden Beer Company Cultura Cerveza is a great brew to pair as a foil with the intense "Cancer Culture" album for the simple fact that it goes down easy, but is full-flavored, complex, crisp, and has a crushable character ... a great beer to pound whilst banging your head and pumping your fists to the might and power that is Decapitated!!
Dziękuję!! Salud!! Hails!!
