Although there's nothing like a good stout at any time or ambient temperature, it's nice to have something a little perkier on a 95˚ day. It's been a while since I've had a kölsch, although fruity beers have come up here and there, so that sounds like a nice bit of variety. Even better, it's from Península, so we're supporting local business and assured of a damn fine beer. Pomelo Squeezer, bottoms up!
I'm a little disappointed by the normal beer color; I was expecting Cherry 7-Up pink for some reason. It does perfume the air with wafts of grapefruit, though, so that's definitely a point in its favor. It really tastes like fresh grapefruit juice at first, with that little bit of carbonation to make it a fancy drink, but towards the end of the sip the beer grain comes rolling out. It's an interesting see-saw balancing act of bitter and sweet, so well done it's like having two drinks at once. Or is that really poorly done? It should be well done, since the beer is little drink oasis on a summer weekend afternoon. The beer profile becomes more distinct over time, leaving behind some of the initial crispness, but it's still light and refreshing.
Price: €2.50
