Rye malty aroma with sort of pine like herbal hops
Flavor is dark malty but also slightly sourish. Bitter nutty , matching bitter hops.

Hazy yellow huge creamy head. Exotic fruity and bitter hoppy with an almost milkshake feel to it
Creamy texture, flavor is citrus fruity hoppy bitter with a good balance and composition. Full bodied, malts are to the sweet side but not too sweet. Very very far from industrial in taste. Good one.

1 Litre bottle from SUMA supermarket.
Label looks quite similar to a san miguel brewed beer (according to untapped), but this version I have here has the text CERVESA GARAGARDOA at the top of the label which is not there in the old version. Perhaps sumo and gourmet retained the brand, but moved to font salem for the beer.
I felt tempted to create this as a pale lager, but the label says pilsen.
Clear yellow white fluffy head mild malty aroma, slighlty metallic hops, but that metallic note went away quite fast.
flavor is mild malty, bordering slightly buttery or toasty, a soft almost velvety water treatment and about as little hoppy bitterness as they would be able to get away with, without the beer going flat. Brewed , i think , to be easy drinking and drinakble in large quantities.
I might becrazy, but it tastes more portugese to me, than spanish. bottle found in las palmas, gran canaria, and no hints i can find of portugese origin so i'll put it at font salem (spain).

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.

flowery lager aroma, mild.
flavor is flowery, neutral to very slightly sweet and toasted malty, water treatment is mineral watery. Tastes like a good spanish macro pils, i don't seem to get any weird flavors from the sin gluten feature.

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.

quite strong pine and grapefruity hoppy aroma, good balance between pine and grapefruit, dry hops, not fruity or sweet, suprisingly nice hoppy lager aroma.
Flavor is distincly lager like, the style of clear crisp north european lager, but with a more flowery and slightly more piney hoppy bitterness. hops and malts balanced well, feels like a very good compromise betweeen lager and something more flavorfully hopped.
