Five golden caps
Four calling birds
Three speckled hens
Two flightless non-doves
And a pear cider fresh from the tree
Well, this one is pretty close. Bottles caps are round, rings are round. Right? Anyway!

La Sagra is one of the standards these days, being found (in the bottle) in supermarkets and bars all over the place. It's well worth trying, whatever's available. My personal favorites were presented at fairs, and one was a special run, but the other is at my local Carrefour. It'll get here someday. Tonight, though, it has to be something gold, and the cap is good enough for me. Also, this is a wheat beer, which tends to be a little sunnier yellow than others.
It's a nice wheaty color, with an enticing sweet and citrus smell. The head is a bit thin, but what's there doesn't dissipate too quickly. The taste is pleasant, sweet but delicately so, very light and refreshing. It is, perhaps, not the beer for this time, being dark and chilly evenings and an atmosphere that calls for something darker and heavier, but there are tastes that will long for a rather uncomplicated flavor and satisfying beer at any time. On the other hand, there is a subtle candied aftertaste, so maybe fans of preserved or candied fruit would find this Sagra a fitting Christmas/New Year's beer.
