San Miguel is a pilsner-style lager, golden yellow in colour with reflections of old gold. On the nose it offers hints of smoke against a background of grains. On the palate it is balanced, toasted, of medium bitterness with a prevailing subtle toasting of the barley. The medium persistence aftertaste holds echoes of liquorice.

In 1890 a group of fearless and intrepid Spaniards sailed to Manila in the Philippines on their quest to establish the first brewery in South East Asia. The brewery was located in the St Miguel district of Manila and the first brew created on St Michael’s day. San Miguel became the most fitting name to bestow on the new beer.

The pioneering spirit of the founders meant that the journey continued as San Miguel travelled across Asia and eventually reached Spain in 1954. San Miguel’s quest for seeking out experiences has taken it to many new destinations and it is now sold in over 45 countries worldwide. An international success story with an experience seeking spirit.

Pale gold colored clear beer with big bubbled head. Malty profile aroma along with esters and wind. Light bitterness, some more sweetness. Above light body, feels nice in mouth. High carbonated though.

Can from the Tesco in Amble. Pours clear golden yellow with a short-lived thin white head. Aromas are grassy and grainy. Bland. Taste is almost non-existent. Does the job I suppose.

0.25 l bottle from a supermarket in Badalona. Clear, pale straw yellow with a white head. Sweetish, grainy and moderately grassy aroma of straw, grains and some corn. Sweetish, slightly grainy and quite grassy taste of straw, grains and some corn, followed by a short, slightly bitter, quite grassy finish. Thin body, slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Very bland stuff.
