clear yellow, small white head
mild toasted malty aroma, a little bit of butter or toasted bread with butter. really hard to find hops in the aroma
flavor is crazy all in on toast with butter, or perhaps buttery caramel. very malty, like malt sweets, overly sweet, no hoppy balance. not sure wtf they aimed for here, but it is anything but classica as i've never tasted a beer like this before from spain, as far as i can remember. in fact i kind of like sweet malty beers , but this one is very buttery and very toasted bready. so much it's almost un-beerish. I've had vanilla chocolate icecream that is way less sweet than this.
it's not decidedly bad, more like a pastry stout without the stout part.

clear yellow huge white head
aroma of corn and metallic hops.
flavor is quite sweet malty, corn, syrupy, the hoppy bitterness is metallic and tasteless and combines with the alc. to make a pretty nasty bitterness. The sweet malty beer on top of this, makes this a good example of how horrible macro lager can get.

Strong lager aroma,similar to guldøl, sort of sweet flowery malty aroma, with bit more lagered malty notes.
Flavor is light for the ABV with flowery notes dominating, a bit of syruppy notes too, and malts that are almost getting a bit sweet nutty or toasted.
Slightly better than your average imperial macro lager. quite well balanced.

33cl bottle from carrefour las palmas.
slightly citrussy hoppy aroma.
flavor is hay, grass, citrus, dusty hoppy notes, white dough like sugary malts, but not overly sweet, just this feeling that some sugar was left over from fermentation. this flavor suits the beer well, btw.
enjoyable "session" ipa at a high 4.5% but it does get some more body and character from the extra ABV.

hazy orange brown, smooth beige head
pine needles hoppy with a milder flowery hoppy thing also.
toasty slighlly nutty malty, smooth buttery caramelly malt aroma.
flavor is buttercaramelly malty with some nutty bitterness, mild pine and grapefruit from hops, slight malty bitterness, some of the bitter flavors are sort of nearly flavorless like an ESB. Alc. well hidden and yields some extra body to the beer.
