give me strength

Cibeles is one of the first craft beers of the area, and one of the companies with the greatest variety of products.  Sadly, they only come out a few at a time, so unless your favorite is one of the basics you might find yourself out of luck.  A lot of special beers and limited editions come out, one of which would be the Strong Ale, in an aggressive looking bottle.

Lemme out!

Toasty brown and tasty looking, although somewhat lacking in head.  There's an apple kind of smell, making the comparison to cider inevitable.  There's even a little tartness in the taste that could be from apples, although it's definitely bitter and beery.  It is a strong beer at 10%, and the flavor has the buzzy note of alcohol underlying it.  Although refreshing, it's a little bit sticky, probably in need of a balance of flavors from some savory snack.  A nice bowl of pretzels does sound good about now.
