33cl bottle from el corte.
since last time i frequented a carrefour (years) they seem to have created a whole series of these sensation beers.
hazy dark yellow, small white head.
slightly citrussy aroma, nice malts, mineral watery, aroma hints of a quenching beer - or an infected one. short time will tell.
flavor is toasted malty with a quite nice flowery and lemon peel and lemon bits like fruity balance. A light beer, would work fine in the sun from a sixpack and would also work pretty well with food, given it's not too intrusive nature.
found in carrefour las palmas, gran canaria

50cl bottle from el corte ingles, las palmas
label says brewed in muchen, watch out, a very similar labelled and looking bottle is brewed in the US
clear brown, brown smooth head.
aroma of rye bread, toasted malts, brown sugar
flavor is toasted malts, lightly roasted malts, rye bread, faint brown sugar, sort of like a vienna, but a bit more roasted and a little bit more sweet. Pretty well balanced, good solid flavor.

Can , brewed in holland by bw west.
Clear yellow smooth white head
Flavor is sweet malty, metallic hoppy balance. The sweet malts are a bit more toasted, white bready and tasty than many similar cheap strong kagers , the hops are tasteless bitter and maje the beer feel cheap anyways. But the malts are surprisingly nice

Small fat green labeled bottle "Blonde Forte" "Strong Blond" also the 150 bottom right. bbf 2026. seems like the green label might becoming part of the standard ones they have, I see it all over these days.

aroma is Belgian yeasts, flowers, the yeasty notes are very smooth and bready, bit wild, but tempered, aroma in general is sweet malty and flowery with a good dose of dough like yeastiness. surprisingly good.

flavor has a lot of belgian yeastiness flavors, but tempered and rounded and really well integrated, also herbs, flowers, a hint of sweet exotic fruits, end is yeasty and with a bit of a bitter triple like hop kick.
very well rounded tripel, does not come off as industrial , more like a really well done trappist tripel. i am quite positively surprised.

aromatic citrussy hoppy aroma, yesty notes too, almost like belgian yeasts were used, or at least not traditional APA yeast.
flavor is quite refreshing with citrussy notes, unfortunately i don't think this level of citrussy notes can be from hops only, i think it is slightly infected and got some tartness in that way. Infected spanish micro are getting rarer and rarer, but i got one right here :-). even though slightly sour, the beer is quite refreshing and enjoyable
