| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Nov 1, 2009 330ml bottle labelled "Estrella Damm Barcelona" with a 4.6% ABV. Clear straw yellow with medium white head that quickly dissipates. Nose of faint honey malts and little else. Light-medium bodied with a just a smidgen of dry hop bitterness to raise it above most Australian-brewed macro lagers. Not worth the carbon pollution to ship it over all the way from Spain though.

Excellent when served very cold. Quite standard all around, which is not entirely a bad thing. Worth a taste or two, but not much more. njmoons (58), New Jersey, USA

About what you would expect from a European adjunct lager. There are better choices in the same price range.
Poured a light gold with a good head that dissipated quickly.
Smell was skunky with a hint of malt.
Taste was not too bad. It was very light and clean, had a crisp finish.
Mouthfeel was light as expected.
Drinkability, beer was light, easy drinking. I could through back a couple with friend. wyzzywyz22 (779), Wirral, Merseyside, England
| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Oct 27, 2009 Draught, Ryders Bar. La Duquesa, Spain. Drank this to be polite after having been unwillingly bought a pint, surrounded by dodgy looking brits. As lagers go I suppose its not the worst. Not much of note happening in any department, but it falls into the just about drinkable category. Grainy with a dryish finish. The commercial description is pretty laughable really.

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 7, 2009 A suprisingly smooth, easy drinking pale lager with enough noticeable hops in the aroma and flavor to be enjoyable, yet still stuck in the realm of Euro pale lagers. The aroma has some floral notes, malts, with a bit of bready yeast. Flavor has some light malts, a bit ot metal and a slightly bitter hop finish, rather dry. Pretty nice really.
