So it seems we are about to leave the "state of emergency" that has been our normal for some time. There are still a bunch of restrictions that have to be abided by, though, including limits on the number of people who can sit together at a restaurant table. It's still a pretty good time to have a good beer all to yourself with the cheesiest of movies, or virtual conversation on historical marketing. When it's 20th century beer marketing, the best choice is obviously a lager, although I can't resist picking up a good craft instead of slumming with industry. On the other hand, we don't always hear who gets absorbed into the industry from the craft world, so Basqueland's Santa Clara might have been even more fitting for a later discussion.
In the store it was labeled as a pilsner, and the look is exactly that. It's a light straw color with a bright, fizzy-looking head. There's a noticeable standard beer aroma as soon as the cap is removed. The taste hits with a hard bitter and a lager grain punch, although that graininess stays back from being truly sweet. It's bubbly on the tongue, leaving a bit of a tickle rather than an aftertaste. The feeling is very light, a very easy to drink kind of beer, there's almost no weight in the mouth at all. If it wasn't less than 5% alcohol it might a something to be careful of, but as it is you can't help but feel relaxed with it. A great start to drinking in summer temperatures!
