Cerveza con un pequeño cordón espumoso que se disipa rápidamente. Cuerpo y carbonatación ligera. Aroma afrutado y a lúpulo. En boca tiene un buen equilibrio entre dulzura y amargor lo que la hace muy agradable.

A 330ml bottle with a best before date of 9th April 2017. Poured into a Mikkeller stemmed tasting glass.
Appearance: A slightly hazy orange pale copper colour with a one finger white head that had decent retention.
Aroma: Fanta orange soda with some bready and caramel malts.
Taste: Orange sweetness mixed with some herbal and floral elements and biscuity malt.
Mouthfeel: Light to medium bodied with light to moderate carbonation.
Overall: The fruitiness was quite nice, but the herbal elements I was getting, was not really my thing.

I tried this whilst in El Salvador. I was excited to try this beer since i never had before.
Unfortunately, this fell shorter than my expectations. Although the appearance is decent the aromatics were of sweet almost late harvest/spoiled fruits, yet somewhat enticing (weird). The carbonation and taste combination was not pleasant.
I think SAGRA has better offerings, this one fell short.

Hopefully this is better than some of the other catalan "artesan" beers I tried during last few days...
Good head levels, nice colour.
Unrefreshing choclatey malty aroma.
Much better than some of the other Catelan and Spanish beers I tried recently. This has a refreshing smoothness that expertly balances the choclatey heavy maltness.
This in fact is a highly complex and very well balanced beer. Fine still for a hot day, or for the winter...
Best Spanish artesan beer so far

33cl brown glass bottle from an Alcampo market in Barcelona. Cost was ~2 euro. Brief impressions below:
White cap lasts 3ish minutes. Body is a pale copper of average vibrance. Clean, with no yeast particulate visible within.
Aroma brings notes of pale malts, unexpected spice (coriander?), fruity yeast esters, and floral & fruity hop character. Pleasant and appealing. Of moderate aromatic intensity.
Taste is surprisingly well balanced, with a nice mix of subtle spiciness, fruity esters, fruity hops, and neutral pale malt sweetness. I like it, but it's worth noting that it's quite a simple ale, all things considered. The subtlety of the spices is lovely.
Texture is smooth, wet, medium-bodied, highly carbonated, refreshing, and clean.
Overall, it's an enjoyable brew (especially for a supermarket beer) but lacks the intricacy and depth of flavour found in the very best offerings in this style (European ale). I'd buy it again were it offered at a more reasonable price...say, 80 (euro) cents per bottle - not an untenable price point in, say, neighboring Portugal.
C+ (3.18) / ABOVE AVERAGE

No real fizz when opened, especially for a bottled conditioned beer. Pours with a light and receding head. Not a lot of malt or hops. Rather light with little aftertaste.

From Carrefour Camas. I dont remember well this beer, only that it was pretty better than the spanish average. Ill revisit it. Avg 3.
30 Jun 2018. New label. From Carrefour. In Teku glass. At lunch, with rice soup. Flat and boring. A correct implementation of the typical amateurish ale. Avg 3
11 Julio 2020. Etiquetada como Castiza. De Hipercor. En vaso aflautado de Hirsch. En almuerzo, con salmón + ensalada variada. Mejor de lo que me pareció la ultima, con buen cuerpo y ninguna nota discordante. Será cuestión de pillarla fresca

330ml sealed cap bottle. Pokal glass. Amber color, clear appearance. Off-white froth leaves a close, lasting & thin layer on top. Floral notes, sweet malts, fruity hues & herbs to the nose with fresh mint on the back. Crispy uprfront & sweet malt flavor. Light body. Moderate carbonation. Sparkling palate. Slight bitterness in the middle lingers into a dry sweet/bitter finish.
