Not bad, not tasty, but at last was some new stuff. A little dark, but it is a lager.

Bottle, ’Bica velha’ , Loulé. Reddish gold with a high uneven head of foam persisting until the tulip’s drained. Candy sweet aroma with hay and slight fruit, wheat maybe. Fuller and fruitier than bog standard sardine beater, with candy, hay, corn, wheat and very slight peardrop esters that had me thinking it might even be....non-Portuguese in origin. (blind tasting). Moderate hop bitterness to finish. Decent, for what it is.

Eh, not too bad. Brought it back with me from Lisbon, Portugal this summer. Does have a bit of bitter hop character(hence the "Holland Type" on the label). Pours with a head that’s almost gone now. no lace. Pale yellow/gold color. decent carbonation. Nose is a little off: some chlorine/mineraly characteristics along with some good beery aromas. Much better good and cold or if the drinker is good and thirsty. Taste and body are ok.

Quite nice for a low budget Spanish lager. Nothing extraordinary - hoppy and grainy taste, slightly bitter end.

(Bottle 100 cl) Thanks to Søren K for bringing me this. Pours a pale golden with a tiny head. Fairly clean malt aroma. Medium body with sweetish pilsener malt notes and a dry finish with some hoppiness. Fairly decent. 090507

Bottle, 33cl. Very pale yellow lager, with a medium white head that lasted longer than i expected! Very light beer, with no complexity whatsoever. nevertheless, very refreshing. Flavour is bitter/dry and watery. Another ’easy to forget’ lager...
