Pretty boring beer pwith only little bitterness. Amber in color with a white head.

My waiter in Madrid, Spain, said this was the only beer they carried because it was "la mejor cervesa del mundo" (the best beer in the world). It was not.

Bottle: Small to medium airy white head which changes quick into an airy and sticky on the glass head/open lacing on top of a clear bright yellow colored beer. Smell light skunky, grains, honey, some older hops, hay, spicy, herbal and some tingy notes. Taste is spicy, creamy, hop and hop bitters, grass, hay, corn, malts, some herbal notes and a light hint of something soft creamy vanilla ish like. Aftertaste is grassy, old hoppy, typical malt notes, some light bitterness and a herbal honey touch. Low carbo, soft mouthfeel, low body and a creamy texture.

On tap as I enjoyed some tapas on Saturday night. Pours bright yellow. Tastes of grains, corn, sour, white grapes. Crisp enough

Botto, 033. Pours a yellow colour with a tall white head. Aroma is malt, cardboard. Taste is also malt.

Not bad for such a cheap brew. Pours a big white head, fainting quickly, Aroma is quite good still indicates the quality. Short and very limited palate. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle. Pleasant grass and some mild aroma hop. Standard lager yellow. Good sweet malt initial; cereal and more hops in mid palate; smooth, easy finish. Thin-medium body. Not so bad, if a bit too sweet.

Al principio deja regusto amaaaaaaargo y cuando debería cambiar a matices de algún tipo sigue siendo amargo. En barril bien tirada tiene muy buen cuerpo, pero es lo único positivo que puedo decir de ella.

Pours a yellow colour with a tall white head. Aroma is malt, cardboard and some citrus. Taste is also malt, some citrus and cardboard leading to a bigger hop bitter finish than you would expect but it’s not a nice hop taste. Nothin to rave about.

Draft. Pours a clear golden colour with a decent, thick white head. Aroma has malts, wet grass and some skunk. Flavour is quite sweet, really malty and incredibly easy drinkable. I did quite enjoy this one!
