deal with the devil

It's Beer Week(s) again in Madrid, so it's time for some studied drinking and not just knocking back one before bed.  This week is also the German Film Fest, so I'll start with some German beers.  The first one should come as no surprise, since I have a certain fascination with Faust.  Somehow the existence of a brewery by the name escaped my attention until now.  But, there it was on the shelf, looking like it was waiting just for me.  It's not the differentness of the beer, like many craft beers lay claim to, but the glorious standard it wraps itself in.

Psst!  Looking for something?

Kräusen is a "cloudy" beer, but in the glass it's not really that opaque.  It looks tempting for a warm night, clear gold colored and white topped.  Not especially aromatic, but a little sweet and grainy.  The taste is sweet too, although still subtle.  It feels like a happy beer, one you have at the bar with friends, in a relaxed frame of mind.  It goes down easy enough, perhaps one of those dangerous ones where you don't think about how much you're drinking until you've drunk, well, all of them.
