0.33L bottle, medium light head that holds, deep golden to bronze colour, aroma of malt, vanila, something cheesy and a hint of metal, malty toffee flavours with medium sweetness and a dried fruit finish. Drinkable.

Bottle. Clear deep golden color with a white head. Aroma of corn and some noble hops. Sweetish flavor, a bit grainy, with a light caramelly touch and a bitter, slightly herbal, finish with light metallic and alcoholic hints. Medium-bodied. Pretty boring but drinkable.

0.33l can. Clear amber colour with a large beige head. Malty nose. Full-bodied, malty flavours of caramel, chocolate and toffee. Slightly dusty hops in the lingering finish. A pleasant surprise!

33 cL bottle. Pours clear golden and deep orange with a small, slight off-white head. Aroma is mild roasted malt, light acidic cornish note. Sweet, caramelish and roasted malt flavoured. Lingering sweet and bitter dry flavoured into the finish. Light alcohol smoothness.

Bottle courtesy of and shared with ogivlado (thanks!) Poured a pale bronze-amber body with a medium sized off white thick head that went away relatively slowly. The nose is odd... alcohol and maybe herbal hopiness. Empty, dry taste. Light crude hopiness going into the aftertaste, very light maltiness. Drinkable but no huge feat with that light a body (which is in turn quite a feat for 6.2% alcohol), Expected more alcohol after the nose but it’s well hidden. Hmm.

33cl Bottle, brought from Spain by a collegue, thanx Rebecca! Clear dark golden colour, creamy white head. Aroma of grain and malts. Flavour is grain and malts, a hint of caramel, with a slightly bitter finish. OK lager.

can. was called san miguel XV selecta maduracion en boega 6.2% so not sure if this is the right place. It’s the only san miguel at that alc. pct. dissapointingly faint aroma, clear dark yellow. like whiskey, large white head. flavor is honey, hops, caramel, hints of sugar and dark fruit. refreshing and great hoppiness into the aftertaste. by far best san miguel i’ve tasted. 2008: 4,4,8,3,13 re-rate this time san miguel selecta, purchased in puerto de la cruz, tenerife. super clear amber, smooth large beige head. looks beautiful. nutty malty and very slightly toasted malty aroma, quite clean straight malty lager aroma, but quite refined and well rounded. 7 aroma. flavor is toasted malty, somewhat dry, a solid euro hoppy bitterness in the end that morphs into an almost roasted malty bitterness in the far end, they quite nailed the bitterness, flavor is smooth and rounded. palate is softer than expected. alc works well, perhaps only noticeable in the far bitter end where some alc bitterness is present. Tastes like more than 6.2%. Pretty good for a commercial industrial beer. rating is from this 2024 january rating
