An easy drinking thirst quencher. You know what that means; doesn't taste very much but doesn't taste bad on a hot day.

This one (5,4% ABV) is far better than their 4,5% version lager, which most people (incl. me, sorry) have rated under the Philippines branch brewery, even though many of us obviously have had it in Spain. Anyway, the 5,4% version is quite malty, with a barely sufficient hoppiness. An acceptable premium lager, not great but well worth having with (or without) a meal in Spain. This rating is based on a bottle bought in Norway, had travelled well.

The 2002 winter seasonal. Dark amber in colour, rich head. Flowery, fruity aroma. Malty. Balanced hop bitterness. A surprisingly good and well balanced beer.

A fairly good quality pale lager brewed for the Christmas season. Nothing too special, but a fair malt profile and touch of spicy hop.
