Typical beach beer. Actually had my first draft while over looking the playa as numerous women swam topless even in mid-January. I don’t think I can give it a 5 on appearance just because of the setting. That can I am rating now pours a crystal clear, straw yellow with a thin, slightly creamy white head. Aroma is fairly standard, grassy, slightly sweet, stale pale malts. Flavor is sweet, malty, a tad bready, lightly grassy. Finish is watery and goes down easy. Like I said, typical beach beer.

Sample at the Eurostash II tasting on 12/12/09: Canned version, as well as a bottle at a cafe in Arrecife, Canary Islands. The beer is a clear yellow-gold color with a thin and fizzy white head that disappears quickly. Thin rings of lacing. Light fruit and grassy hops aromas. Light body with flavors of sweet fruit, grassy hops and stale malt. The finish is short and fruity with a touch of hops. Below average overall.

Sample at the Eurostash II tasting on 12/12/09: Canned version. The beer is a clear pale golden yellow color with a thin and fizzy white head that disappears quickly. Spotty lacing on the glass. Light malt and vegetable aroma. Light body with flavors of malt, corn and mild hops. The finish is clean and has a short malt aftertaste. I am running out of ways to call these nearly identical beers boring.

Sample at the Eurostash II tasting on 12/12/09: Canned version. This beer pours clear golden with a compact white head that recedes steadily. Spotty lacing on the glass. Mild malt and lightly skunked aroma. Light body with pale malt and mild hops flavors. The finish is malty with a short and mildly bitter hops aftertaste. Yet another nondescript Pils like you find in every country.

Herber, erst spät wenig süßer werdender Antrunk. Trocken hopfig im Mittelteil, ohne das der Hopfen wirklich hervorkommt. Zum Ende etwas herb, durch eine leichte Gerstennote fast schon aromatisch. Süffig, erfrischend, ok. 5/6/8/7/8/6 Fass:Wässriger, sehr leicht herber Antrunk, spät setzt eine sofort wieder versiegende Malzigkeit ein. Danach nur noch wässrig, unterbrochen nur von einer etwas muffigen Hopfigkeit zum Schluss. 8/6/6/7//7

Trockener, wenig herber Antrunk. Leicht malzig werdend, das Lvel ist mild aber gerade noch in Ordnung und immerhin konstant. Karg hopfig, was sich schnell wieder verabschiedet. Weiter trocken. 7/7/7/6/11/7
