Despite the sub par ratings here, I enjoyed this offering quite a lot. It is a deturn from all those hoppy IPAs and Pale Ales. It has a very interesting earthy sometimes also a bit roasty maybe even spicy malt character. Montseny beers are widely available in Gracias nightlife and shelflife and I am glad there is something available that is not a Pilsener or a hoppy ale.

330ml bottle from Carrefour Supermarket, Barcelona (€1.85):
Not an offering that I was impressed with or one that I enjoyed in the slightest. It was overly malty (even given the name) & the balance was poor with to much earthy flavours & little else; off-putting & difficult to drink. There was some caramel sweetness & the odd funky flavour early on but these were soon drowned out by the malts; poor stuff really & not one that I'd have again.

17 Sep 2015. From Hipercor, last units. In Duvel glass. After dinner.The sell it as pale ale but isnt pale. The taste is a bit rancid but is enjoyable anyway. It was near BB date. Avg 3.52
12 Oct 2019. De Aldi. En copa Teku. En almuerzo, con sopa de fideos + nuggets. Bien en aroma, pero en boca le falta dulzor maltoso y le sobra presencia de levadura y vegetal

Recently stumbled across my notes from The Festival 2012. Lets do this!
A - Poured a crystal clear light brown with a light brown head that it just keeps bubbling up, almost like a soda.
S - Aromas are mediocre, old hops, light citrus, faint grains/cereal. Just old.
T - Taste is rather meh too, like the nose it just tastes old. Light lemons, grains/cereal malts, super faint hops.
M - Mouthfeel is SUPER thin and watery.
O - Overall a very poor example of an English pale ale, thin and old.

330ml bottle. ½ Pint glass. Enjoyed many times. Pours amber in color. Hazy appearance. White, medium bubbled, froth. Complex aroma profile: underlying crystal malts,floral & herbal notes, citrics & slightly spicy touch. Flavor shows light sweetness from mildy malts, spycy touch, fruity hues & kind acidity in the middle. Medium body. Lively, moderate intensity, carbonation. Moderate earthy bitterness. Subtle tartar dry & finish. Refreshing. Easy drinkable.

While trying to hunt down some interesting beers in a Spanish Grocery store, I came across this one. It Looked like some kind of craft beer, so i decided to pick it up.
It pours a medium, slightly hazy amber colour with a nice foamy head.
The aroma is grainy, but there is a strong piney hop aroma coming through too. However, it has this weird background aroma that kind of reminds me of dog food for some reason... Some yeast also comes through in the background, but nothing overpowering.
The flavour is quite good. It's much fruitier than I had expected. There is a nice spicy hop flavour towards the end, and the finish is distinctly tobacco. Quite interesting indeed.
Overall, I have some mixed feelings about this one, but It's worth trying and certainly different from a typical pale ale.
