Think global, act local, isn't that the saying? Buying local is part of that, I guess. Fortunately, when it comes to beer, the choices are numerous. One of those choices is Cibeles, not only quality, but also quantity beers, having produced a number of varieties over the past few years. Viejo Madrid is one I had not seen before, so I couldn't resist. I notice the label is also in English, and not really a translation. They have been exporting to the US for a couple of years, so they're either prepared or have gotten used to a bilingual theme. And the English part is much more...commercial.

For some reason I expected a darker beer than I got in my glass, maybe because of the brownish label, or because of the slightly sweet smell. It reminds me a little of a bock in aroma. The color is golden and standard beer, though. The taste is apple-y and just a little tart, although I feel like it could become syrupy if left to warm up too much. This "traditionally" crafted beer is a fine drink, flavorful, bright and happy, and a pick-me-up on a rainy evening. Much better than certain other beers that claim seniority around here.
