1.7 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 5/20
UPDATED: JAN 26, 2008 Draught in Toledo, Spain. We drank this every day after class this fall at a small bar near our school (cheap and free tapas). Sweet and very dry, mouthfeel actually pleasant. Other than that, boring, mostly flavorless lager. I’d take this over Mahou any day.

On tap. Golden with a reasonable head and steady bubbles. Nose of mostly pale malt and breakfast cereal (soggy cornflakes). Taste of gentle honey and malt with just a touch of something herby lemon to clean it away on the end. The palate is light throughout but at least it is refreshing. Overall, I’ve had worse lagers.

Pale yellow; starts out with the usual malty sweet med lager taste, but in its favour it has a relatively full mouthfeel and a slightly dry finish with some detectable hops; not the worst of its kind but still far from good.
1.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
On tap at Il Camino, London. Pours a pale yellow color with a white head. Aroma of skunk and grain. Decent body with some sweet malt and a grain ending. Riverpour, and the river got offended.
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
Served very cold, and probably for the better. Standard pale lager aroma, bit more malty maybe than normal. Light bitter and quiet refreshing taste. Heavy carbonation. Just okay but definitely not the worst pale lager. (33cl can)
1.8 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 9/20
Not a great deal of colour to this beer. In fact similar lack of colour as the Tsingtao Gold I had this morning. Fine bead of carbonation and a rocky white head. Not much of a discernable aroma either. Tastes cool and of very light malt flavours. No finish at all. To be fair, this is more of a time and a place beer I think. Better suited to a sunny afternoon in Valencia watching live Formula One than a balmy evening in New Zealand before a roast pork dinner. In its favour, it is sessionable, certainly.

Big brewery pilsener, with maybe a hint of bitterness more than most Spanish other big ones.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
50cl draught. Golden with a nice white head. Lightly malty aroma with fruits and just a hint of citrus. Slightly sweet and malty with some bitterness in the finish. Better than I rememer it from bottles and cans. (2012-05-20)
2.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Nice and refreshing, especially on a hot day as it often is in Spain. Decent carbonation makes this beer look good.
1.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 4/20
It pours a straw yellow color with a huge white head. It has a skunky aroma and smells a little of grain. It has some hop bitterness and tastes a little skunky and has a cereal taste with maybe a slight tropical fruit taste. It’s refreshing and easy to drink but nothing special.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Just another mediocre quality lager. No valid reason to drink this at all .
