Tap @ La Cervesera Artesana, Barcelona.
Pours hazy pale yellow with a small, creamy, white head. Good lacing. Aroma is bready, some vegetable and maize. Prickly carbonation, okay dry mouthfeel. Flavour is bready, some rye, asparagus, apricot, fine dryness in the finish. Drinkable, but the vegetable notes are unpleasant.

A Mes rate: Tap at Cervesera Artesana.
Very cloudy pale yellow, not sure how right it is but it’s topped with a very stable, medium white head and lace that makes for something that looks very inviting. Slight rubber and egg in the aroma but the cascade comes through really well. Nice citric orangey notes. Flavour wise, now that’s more like it! The first time in my whole trip I have tasted proper hops. Grassy and very resinous. Just the right weight to throw back on a hot summers evening. Dry and very refreshing. Lovely rubbery and resinous finish. Just right on the palate. Balanced and tasty.
