Not sure who exactly they're exporting to or if they just mean it is a higher ABV version. Can from Yamaya, served in a half-pint glass. A great clear deep amber pour with a thin beige head that leaves behind no lacing. Great color. The aroma is straight up malty sweet toffee. The taste is sweet malty citrus with some breadiness & a touch of sourness in the finish. Med-full bodied this is quite a satisfying beer to drink. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

350 ml can. Pours dark amber with a nice foamy head. Surprisingly clear. Aroma has some caramel, feels quite lager-like. Some sweet bread notes - and something a bit artificial also. Taste is also malty, just as pouring some liquid bread in my mouth. There is some sour background notes and solid hop bitterness balancing the malts. Overall it has soft blanket-like feeling to it with a medium length, slightly bitter cookie aftertaste. Not a bad beer - but also not special in any way.

Can from Le Collier. Pretty deep reddish amber color with a high, bubbly head. Caramel amber malt nose, light cherry and grain, not particularly rich. Rather plain. Ok malt character, again some caramel, a bit of cherry and strawberries, touch of chocolate, earthy, grassy finish. Ok. Quite bitter in the end. Not bad, but perhaps Amber Yebisu is just as good. And what the hell is Spanish about this? Body works well enough. A bit rough.
