GBZ59 (314) - BARCELONA (Catalonia), SPAIN - APR 17, 2012
Botella de 330ml. Vaso de Pinta. Saboreada en oct´11. Color dorado pálido y apariencia turbia. La espuma túpida y marfileña crea una corona persistente y algodonosa con increíbles collares y copos en las paredes. Suave entrada seguida por un ascendente sabor de esteres y cítricos. Paladar de recio amargor. Cuerpo lígero y carbonatación media. Final amargo y áspero. Fácil asimilación. Una refrescante cerveza descubierta en el verano del 2009 que se ha convertido para mi en un clásico en días calurosos. 330ml bottle. Pint glass. Enjoyed on oct´11. Pale gold in color, foggy appearance. Dense, off-white in color, froth creates a lasting rocky head with incredible lacing collars, spots & flakes on sides. Smooth upfront followed by increasing estery citric flavor. Earthy bitter mouthfeel. Light body, medium carbonation. Rough bitter finish. Slightly astringent & subtle malt. Easy drinkability. A refreshing beer met in 2009 Summer has become a classic drink to me in summer days.

kopher (560) - New York, USA - FEB 7, 2012
interesting aroma, very lemony with bright crisp biscuity malt. pours a hazy straw with big fizzy quickly-receding head. flavor is tart in front and then bland. light and crisp and overcarbed. this is not an ipa by any stretch. lightly hopped saison maybe. not bad, but seriously, there is almost no bitterness. first craft spanish beer i’ve seen, but jeez, what are they doing over there?

thegreenrooster (2525) - St.louis, Missouri, USA - DEC 24, 2011
Pour is a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma is dry cracker malts with some hoppyness. Flavor is a ok hop to start then comes some pils like malt and finishes dry and bland. Little to no aftertaste. Just ok and better than the rest I’ve had from this brewer.

Beer3000 (3096) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - SEP 9, 2011
330 ml bottle. Hazy golden body with a diminishing off-white head. Aroma is mild malty with some grassy/herbal hops. Flavor is refreshing bitter, mild malt and hint of citric fruit. Medium body. Kind of interesting beer, but not an IPA in my book. Not very bitter, but feels refreshing. A bit unusually hop flavor as well, something between grassy and light fruity. Pleasant aftertaste.
