3.4%, drunk in Tenerife. Very smooth. Mild bitterness, a bit thin but flavorful enough for this kind of climate. Light grain notes but more complex than the local lagers.

Can drunk at the hotel pool in Tenerife. Not awful for a cheap non alcoholic, grainy and not very much bitterness, watery hay and soggy hops. Yay hydration.

Taste at the hotel in Tenerife. Lots of caramel, earthy hop bitterness, a bit sweet/malty. It's alright for a mass produced wannabe-premium beer.

Drunk in the hotel in Tenerife, if you can believe it. Thin and grainy, was brew day rainy? Slight cardboard, not one to hoard. Could be worse, sorry this is terse.

Can drunk of an evening in Troya on the balcony day bed, a few hundred meters from its purchase. Dark brown with moderate head. Mildly toasted grainy nose, relatively malty-sweet but not overbearing. Decent earthy-hop finish that doesn't quite balance that sweetness. Not too exciting but there's nothing major wrong with it. Pretty much the opposite of this particular beach town (sorry, sunburned Brits).

Bottle from a supermarket. Drunk on the balcony of our room in Hotel Colon Rambla. Malty, a bit too sweet, not great flavors - a bit artificial. Sorry Heineken Group, but... bleah.

Drunk on Tenerife. Decent light beer, medium body for the style, actually pretty tasty and inoffensive. Could definitely drink a lot of this at the beach!

Bottle I bought several years ago. Dark brown, moderate head. After 9 years aging: raisiny nose, very plummy. Flavor is thick and oxidized but impressive in its clout, a bit like Madeira or sherry. Super smooth, mellow bitterness. Impressed it held up so well!
