The last of my Spanish beer in stock, Estrella is a Euro Pale Lager 4%ABV. A Euro Pale is similar to the Munich Helles. Many European countries reacted to the popularity of early pale lagers by brewing their own. Hop flavor is significant and of noble varieties, bitterness is moderate, and both are backed by a solid malt body and sweetish notes from an all-malt base. Other beer in this variety would be Stella Artois,
Grolsch Premium, Heineken, Birra Moretti and Kronenbourg 1664.
This one poured a very clear light golden yellow colour with just a little head that dissipated quickly and left a minimal amount of lacing. The aroma is that of wet hay and grass with a hint of sweetness and wheat, very similar to most euro lagers. The taste is slightly sweet with a malt background and almost no detectable hop bitterness. It's a nice easy drinking clean crisp beer but nothing out of the ordinary 3.6 out of 5
