Estrella Damm Inedit

Brewed by Damm
Style: Belgian White (Witbier)
Barcelona, Spain

pours a murky golden color with a white head. the aroma is subtle, hard to explain exactly what i sense, but it reminds me of summer. initially it tastes of citrus fruits, it even feels like there is one on your tongue. then it melts away into a creamy finish.

I am suprised by the low ratings for this one. I found it to be quite compelling for the style. Very flavorful with a nice complexity.

Pours a three-finger white head that fades slowly to a thin layer and leaves some lace. Yeasty orange nose. Hazy amber color. Medium carbonation and light-medium bodied. Flavor is orange with the yeast in background. Nice wit. $9.99 for a 750ml bottle from Beverage Warehouse Winooski, VT.

Bottle. Cloudy yellow colur with a big white head. Aroma and taste of fresh citrus, coriander and a touch of mint. Very fresh spanish version of wit. Short sweet and fresh finish. Would love it along with a plate of mussels. Nice one.

Hazy yellow. Big white head. Aroma of yeast,banana,bubblegum and maybe some apricot. Flavor is loaded with coriander, yeast, light tartness and stone fruit

.5 L bottle directly from Barcelona. Appearance is great, small creamy, frothy white excellent lacing head with short life. Body hue orange yellow reminds me of blue moon. Smells like Belgian yeast, banana and orange with a spice I can’t put my finger on, probably because I’m smelling the yeastyness. Flavor is nothing special. Maybe I don’t have a pallet for the Belgian yeast beers, but it is very light and little hops finish, a smooth and carbonation tinge on the tongue finish. Light body finish, watery, lively carbonation very smooth finish. Yeast sediment on bottom of bottle, not a bad beer, expecting more.

Bottle. Pours a hazy gold yellow color with a foamy white head. Aroma is wheat, yeast, bread. Flavor is straw, grain, wheat, strawberries. Nice mouthfeel.

Rather dissappointing, considering that it’s announced as one of the finest beers in spain, created by Ferran Adria. Soft aroma, with very distinct traces of wheat, and some citrus hops. Once in palate, the citrus taste becomes closer to lemon peel and some spices, but it’s still very similar to a hefe weizen. Their reccomendation is to drink it cold, but if you do, you lose all this notes, so it’s contradictory. In their web site they talk about the complexity of aromas and flavors, but I couln’t find them. Also, the alcohol level is really low for a beer that’s supposed to be that complex. On the other hand, If you consider that Damm brewery is a macro lager producer, this is a great bear, but in a very different category.
