Estrella Damm

Brewed by Damm
Style: Pale Lager
Barcelona, Spain

500ml can 4.6% Estrella Damn BARCELONA Cerveza. I hope I’m rating this under correct beer. Poured clear gold with lasting chunky white head. Moderate sweet veggie-hop aroma. High carbonation, grainy favour with some surprising bitterness. Malty finish with a slight metallic aftertaste.

Golden pour with white head. A watery bitter beer with some skunk, nothing great here.

2009-07-04. Crisp yellow body with a small white head. Aroma has some dry grainy malts, grassy/straw character to the hops. Modest hoppy bitterness over pale malts, bit of a grassy/straw character again. Average palate. Pretty dull. Can, from LCBO, Toronto

330mL bottle: Apperance is golden brown with slow fading white head, aroma is of pale malt slightly skunky, flavor is very bland but not bad just malt and carbonation.

500ml can, 4.6% a/v Pours very light straw gold, with a decent white head. Smells pretty "pilsnery", hoppy and light. The taste is pretty clean, though a bit lacking. A bit of noble hops kick in at the end, a decent summer beer to replace your corona with. Very clean, very clear, very nice.

500 ml can pours a freaking niagara falls size noisy head that looks fake-beer and smells a bit solvent-y. but aroma blandly pleasant with a bit of sweet fruit. Looks very clear and pale. Tastes fairly clean and fresh with a late bitter noble-hop bite, and a good sweetness in the body that’s actually fairly nice. Would be a great beach beer. On the very late aftertaste is a bit dry and soapy, would not drink very many for this reason alone.

Easy drinking is exactly what I was looking for tonight - this stuff reminds me of Castle From South Africa. Poured out a large semi-foamy white cap with really good retention and excellent lacing throughout. Nice golden colour. Smells nice with soft citrus, a decent perfectly sweet malt base. Tastes also good, ya. Good biscuit malts that are well balanced with the sweetness and the slight lemony hops. Damn, I need to put this up against Castle (it’s been awhile since I’ve had that). Smooth mouth feel, goes down nice. Mild aftertaste. I could have drank this entire pint in a minute. Good summer drink!

Bottle: Poured a very pale yellow lager with a large pure white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of lightly sweet malt withs some notes of crisp hops. Taste is somewhat light with light malt with no distinctive notes of adjunct and some light dry hops presence. Body is about average with good carbonation. Not sure if I was more thirsty then usual but this did tasted not too bad.
