It’s a common mix and for good reason. The refreshing, not too filling beer refreshes a spicy palate after a faceful of tacos and hot sauce, while the light carbonation brings about those satisfying belches.
I had the pleasure of visiting my big brother this weekend in Williamsburg, and the little love bug brought me back a 21st birthday presie from Spain in the form of a bottle of Ambar CaesarAugusta (CaesarAvgvsta). The bottle is awesome — reminds me of the squat Chimay Blanche bottle. Pours a light yellow with a 2 finger bright-white head. Faintly citric notes in the aroma. Flavor is about the same as the aroma with more lemony taste and a bright mouthfeel. The other Spanish beer I’ve had is the macro, Estrella Damm Inedit and I hated it, so this was a lovely change. Spain still could use a bit of work on their micro industry and take a chapter from the Italian craft-beer movement, France too!
