Days drag on when you're locked up at home, but a good beer can make everything more tolerable.  Arriaca tends to make good beers, but it was really the label that won me over when stocking up for isolation.  Pokey and devilish as that coronavirus!  Cornezuelo del Diablo is a roggenbier, so I'm guessing it might be on the sour side, but something spicy and refreshing is a good choice for spring.  Even if you don't have so much as a balcony to enjoy it on.

It's actually a little darker than I expected, but it has a ruddiness that goes with the name.  It has quite a lagery aroma, sort of a toasted grain.  At first it's a pretty close match to lager in taste, but a swirl of sweetness wastes no time in popping out.  The malt adds a little body and texture, but there's a good balance with some bitter too.  It's quite smooth and a good mouthful.  A mild sourness starts to come out with time, making the flavor even more interesting.
