Los Cristianos, Tenerife 18/3 2016. 33 cl bottle from Mercadona. Exclusive looking bottle with small golden dragons.
Pours golden yellow with a white head. Stable. Settles as a flimsy layer of foam struggling to cover the surface of the beer Moderate lacing.
Aroma is sharp and slightly sour. A little sweet caramel in the background.
Soft creamy carbonation and a watery palate. Gently tingling texture.
Flavor is sweet with discrete notes of alcohol and lightly bitter aftertaste.
Compared to the ordinary San Miguel this is a masterpiece.

San Miguel Selecta has a thick, off-white head and a clear, tan appearance, with moderate lacing. The aroma is of pronounced white bread crust. The flavor is fairly sweet and toasty, with corn chip and some hop bitterness, which is unusual for a marzen. San Miguel Selecta has a medium body and a dry finish.

Poured from 330mL bottle into a wine glass. Best by 11/3/24.
Appearance: copper-golden hue with no haze and a finger of frothy ivory foam atop.
Smell: lightly sweet and malty. It’s not bad, although the volume on the aroma is really low.
Taste: a little sweet with a pretty nice malty flavor and a lightish bitterness. For a Euro strong lager, it’s really not bad at all.
Mouthfeel: medium body with a decent carbonation and creaminess.
Overall: this is a pretty inoffensive beer, which makes it among the best Euro strong lagers I’ve ever tasted.

Cerveza con una cabeza espumosa duradera; ligera y de baja carbonatación. Aroma a lúpulo y algo de caramelo. En boca es ligeramente amarga, con muy poco de malta. Mejor que una habitual San Miguel pero esperaba algo más.

A 330ml bottle brought home from Lanzarote. Pours a clear amber colour with a small stable white head that leaves lacings. Aroma has grain & malt present. Tastes of caramel, vanilla, toffee, grain & malt with a light bitter aftertaste.

Was never much a fan of San Miguel, def one of my least favorite beers of all time.
Deep roasted malty aroma, hint of chocolate and coffee. Fairly good in fact...
Taste is quite carbon dioxidey, simple, fairly tasteless. Not much to write about...
Neither refreshing, fruity, complex or deep/rich. Fairly pointless beer really
