Barcelona 23/8 2019. 50 cl on tap Blai 9, Carrer de Blai.
Pours slightly unclear golden yellow with a medium-sized white head. Settles as 1 cm thick layer of foam covering the surface of the beer. Clinging to the sides of the glass. Substantial lacing.
Medium intense aroma. Sweetly fruity with light citric notes. Light Caramel, mango, peach. Citrus and Grape fruit rummaging in the background.
Medium strong carbonation. Slightly thick, oily lively texture.
Flavor is medium sweet followed by a slightly more moderate bitterness. Aftertaste is bitter with a sweet undercurrent. Lingers for a while.
A bit on the sweet side but with a nice bitter twist.

Estrella “Complot IPA”
€8/pint on tap @ Alcachofas Fritas in the Mercado San Martin, Madrid, ES
Look: Hazy deep gold beneath a thumb’s width of creamy white foam. Good head retention and very good lacing.
Smell: Malty and hoppy but not particularly distinctive.
Taste: Malty and biscuity with an undercurrent of golden caramel and plenty of piney and softly citrusy hops - Columbus or something like that. Solidly bitter and dry in the finish.
Feel: Medium bodied and crisp.
Overall: A solid, satiating IPA.

Drank at Mercado San Miguel in Madrid.
This was served on tap but was disappointing as hell. Lacks flavour, lacks structure, lacks profile. It's not worth trying as it is not a decent American IPA. More close to what Estrella Damm is used to pour out.

Cerveza con un cordón espumoso de buena retención. De cuerpo medio y baja carabonatación. Aroma lupulado y cítrico. Sabor afrutado con un final levemente amargo.

330ml bottle, bb in 4m.
Almost clear golden colour, large-grained ample white head, sticky lace.
Nose is by this time less complex than the label's claim of 8 hops would let you understand. Citrus, tropics, grass, pine, but all in moderation. Citra of course pushes through.
Taste has the same flavours but adds a medium bitterness cutting through the restrained body. A bit of fizz livening things up. Aftertaste is quite piney.
Hard to be inspired by this, but certainly not boring per se. Just missing something to elevate it beyond capable but forgettable.
