Beer #31: Mahou
Appearance: Pale straw. Macro pilsner.
Aroma: Not much. Macro pilsner.
Mouthfeel: Thin. Macro pilsner.
Taste: A rich, earthy bouquet of floral hops, toasted barley, and estery... lol, jk this is basically just Budweiser that sponsors bullfights. You've had a beer like this in every country, and it all blows. You're drinking this because it's the only fucking beer they have.
Price: If you buy it at the store, a can is like €0.50, and a liter is €1.40 or something. On draft, it's about €1.50 for a caña (small beer), and they might cut you a deal for 2 33cL beers for €2.50 if you buy a tapa. Your discount Bud pitcher night at the local dive is better, but not as tasty.
Overall: 2/10. This is a beer to have while you socialize. It's not for savoring. Chug, and finish your ham.
Amontillado
Appearance: Brownish red, translucent.
Aroma: Boozy
Mouthfeel: Thin. Alcoholic warmness.
Taste: The amontillado I had started out with a ton of alcohol, but not as much as bourbon or vodka. After swallowing, the flavor lingered, and a strong taste of black walnuts came through, probably from the cask.
Overall: I'm not going to rate anything but beer on a scale, as my palate isn't sophisticated enough. Instead, I'll decide whether or not I'd drink it again. For amontillado, that's a yes.
Patxaran
We got this stuff free at Rosi La Loca, and I drank it without any knowledge of what it was. All I've discovered is it's a sloe liqueur from Spain. It sort of tasted like cough syrup. Alecia liked it. I thought it was okay I guess. I don't know if I'd get it again.
Beer #32: Cruzcampo Glacial
See Mahou.
