I tried a bottle of this beer at the La Taberna Del Tuerto near the old town square in Madrid . It poured a clear amber with white head that did not leave much lace. The scent had grain and subtle floral hop notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with sweet malt base and subtle citrus hop presence. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a good beer.

De Club del Gourmet del Corte inglés. En copa Teku. Jugando a God of War 3. No está mala, pero no tiene mucho de imperial por la graduación (7 grados solo) ni, si me apuras, de IPA, por tener un perfil donde la malta tiene más protagonismo que el lúpulo, el cual solo aporta ligeras notas resinosas de fondo. Feel algo aguadillo

On tap at Buena Pinta, Madrid.
Creamy taupe cap over hazy amber. 4
Dried orange rind, pine sap, and flowers. 4
Whack of caramel, tangerine skin, white pine and tightening IBUs. 4
Creamy, round, almost medium. 4
Classic old school profile. Too-low ABV + an attempt at high hopping = a good Torpedo-esque by the numbers IPA, rather than a weak DIPA. C hops, balance, some bitterness - nothing wrong here. 4

Intense amber color, quite hazy, with a good white foam, not too much, but sticky and compact.
The smell impact is quite intense, with american hops, grapefruit, but not unbalanced, after all.
In the mouth a malty start, the hop inthe end is present, but maybe not quite enough for an imperial IPA (but, well, it is from Spain...)
Anyway, a quite long hop in the aftertaste.
In the end, quite balanced, more than drinkable, but nothing to die for.
