I thought Estrella was Portuguese?
There are two Estrella beers, both Spanish. One from Barcelona, the other from Galicia.
The word means star in Castilian.

Is this now the ale drinking beards thread?

That's great, NSS. Now, what about those lying bastards in that Portuguese bar?

The Spanish term ‘Inedit’ which means ‘Never Been Done Before’ is the given name that graces the label of this delicious brew from Estrella Damm Brewery of Barcelona, Spain. A collaboration between the team at the critically acclaimed elBulli Restaurant and the Brewmasters at Estrella Damm, this beer claims to be the first crafted specifically to be served with food. A skillful blend of lager and wheat ale styles, it uses 100% natural ingredients with a combination of water, hops, wheat, and spices that has yielded a fantastically refreshing and drinkable beer.
The complex aroma with hints of coriander, clove, fennel, ginger, and sweet citrus reminds me of Mom’s fresh baked gingersnap cookies. It has a slightly misty appearance with a great mouthfeel, mild carbonation and a slight creaminess. The well balanced array of flavours flow over the palate, leaving a lingering finish that begs for more. This beer is excellent with oysters, grilled scallops, mixed greens, and balsamic dressings and glazes. It also has the right acidity to enjoy, as a foil, butter and cream sauces or mild cheeses. In fact this well designed beer is very approachable with many foods!
To enjoy at its best, serve in a 300ml (10 oz) white wine glass, fill to just over half way, and leave the bottle on ice after serving. An inexpensive, expert creation that would do Bacchus proud – Magnificent!
Serving: 750ml black glass bottle
ABV: 4.8%
Best Served: 4-8° C

Chief, I think you and NSS are in agreement with each other, mate.
I'm not really sure what you're arguing about?
It's not an argument mate. It's just a misunderstanding, I said there are two Estrella beers in Spain, which there are.
Vol damm is Estrella damm of Barcelona!...

Anyway my favourite Spanish beer is Cruz Campo bottled. A few of those with some tapas makes a superb lunch.
