On tap at La Bodega in Watertown. Better than Bud Light, not enough so that it can't be pounded alongside food.

A nice smooth slightly bitter beer. You could certainly do worse. circa 2008

Damm S. A. "Estrella Damm
330 ml brown glass bottle, "BEST BEFORE END 07/19 L280504" and sampled on 28 January 2019"
$2 @ Wegmans, North Wales, PA
Look: Clear golden body beneath a short head of white foam that fades steadily but leaves some nice lacing behind. Plenty of fine bubbles can be seen steadily rising within the glass.
Smell: Sweet grainy malt backed by subtle herbal hops.
Taste: As the aroma suggests, it's a sweetish beer upfront but it manages to balance itself in the end through a median bitterness and a healthy dose of spicy and herbal hops. It has a richer malt than most Euro lagers.
Feel: Medium in body and crisp with a standard carbonation level.
Overall: A fairly unique European lager but nothing to write home about.

On tap at the new Westin Hotel, Brisbane, Australia. L. Appropriate yellow/gold with a modest head that fades to froth and spotting. S. I have a busted nose, but a slight fruit/grain/corn hint. T. Lots of carbonation astringency upfront, that fades to a sweet corn/fruit middle and a dry finish. Interesting to follow the transition, but not remarkable. F. Light and frothy, but settles. O. Not bad, I will drink it again, but nothing exceptional.

Pours a pale gold with active carbonation bubbles, but no head
Smells of corn. Taste is a bit more interesting. Grainy corn, but also a hint of apple.
Heavily carbonated. Slightly oily.

Pours a nice gold color with a white soapy head, and descent lacing on the glass. There is a slight bitter taste towards the finish. This beer is neither great nor bad, it is just middle of the road.
