trickling west

Although La Cervecista might be thought of as a crafty rather than craft store, there are good beers for sure.  Especially in the Czech selection, Primátor is there, as well as Bernard!  I have not seen Bernard for quite some time in the Spanish stores, so I shouldn't let this opportunity slide.  I had a little trouble deciding between the amber lager and the Bohemian lager, but in the end Bohemia seemed best.

A very classic look, dark straw yellow and perfectly translucent, not to mention the head sitting on top like frosting.  The aroma is a little bit cleaner and with less grass than some German lagers, but it's still identifiably in the type.  It's an interesting mix of apply sweet and beer bitter in taste.  The beer is a very light feeling liquid, a good choice for a summertime drink with a view of the street.  While it is incredibly easy to drink, it isn't a nothing beer and not quite like Corona or similar light beers fit for the beach.  I feel this is more of an urban beverage.  After a while I start picking up a little saltiness, kind of a sea-water sort of sensation, but not to an unpleasant level.  It's almost like having a salty dressing on a salad.  It's refreshing and calming at once, and with enough presence to be good company on an evening when temperatures are starting to fade from Madrid summer.
