Advantages: Good taste, ever so refreshing

Disadvantages: Some might find it a bit light

Estrella Damm is a beer that I thoroughly enjoyed recently, it came in a small red bottle with a star on it (estrella is star in Spanish), it's a long time since I'd had a Spanish beer and it's not a country that I have a great experience or knowledge in their beers, so I remained unconvinced. That was until, I sipped the delightful golden liquid!

At 4.6% it's a bit weaker than my most desirable strength of beer (5-6%) but it's still enough to bring out the flavour and not taste like diluted gnat's wee. In fact the taste is extremely well-balanced with neither the hoppyness or maltyness of the beer being too strong. I can't imagine the flavour being of displeasure to any beer drinker whatsoever, it's rich enough to give it a near perfect lager taste whilst at the same time keeping the equilibrium to be drinkable to all.

Cheap and cheerful this is the kind of beer that is refreshing when cold and extremely easy to drink a lot of. The carbonation is just the right amount and when poured the head is neither enormous nor too thin. Barcelona definitely impress me with this simple yet effective lager.

Summary: Catalan perfection!
