Estrella Damm Lager
Compadres, there is a big difference between:
(2) sitting outside in Spain drinking a beer out of a plastic cup while watching Spain win over Portugal in the round of 16 in the 2010 World Cup. Did I mention that each plastic cup was €1.50?
These two beers were not the same, but the brewery was: Estrella Damm. After this second experience, I can proudly proclaim that there is no other macrobrew I’d rather drink. The same quality that irked me when I drank Inedit in Rochester, namely the annoying mild, slightly soapy taste, was exactly what made the regular Lager so perfect for a hot Spanish evening of fútbol watching. Unlike American macrobrews, this giant Spanish beer didn’t have any of the tinny, old-hops taste commonly called ”piss.” On the contrary, I practically chugged my plastic cup of refreshingly sublte citrusy goodness without a second thought or smell. Delicioso!
I liked the link to the older review for the inedit….that review was great! I don’t know which was better: the mention of yak’s milk pudding with mango sauce or unnecessarily lengthy portions of the youtube video where beer is streaming into someone’s glass.
[...] eye because instead of ,,Cervezeria,” which is the denotation of any standard bar selling Estrella Damm Lager, it was called [...]
