YaKuZa--BoSs Posted June 29, 2020 Posted June 29, 2020 Only 7 of the 34 lager beers analyzed by the OCU stand out in the experts' tasting Labeling, processing and tasting. These are some of the parameters that the Organization of Consumers (OCU) has evaluated to carry out its recent study of lager-type beers: blond, light-bodied, low-fermented and the most consumed in Spain. 34 beers, special and classic, have been analyzed in their 33 cl format and the verdict establishes that only seven stand out in the experts' tasting. They look at aspects such as flavor, aromas, defects, color ... From there they have given the best notes to those with distinctive touches on the body (those that are creamy, full on the palate), bitterness (intense balanced , nice), malt flavor and hop flavor. The seven with the highest scores have been divided into two groups. On the one hand, the specials, with more malt and more alcohol, where the 5-star Mahou, Keler and Estrella de Galicia stand out. On the other hand, the classic ones, the best being the classic Mahou, original Amstel, classic Amstel and Cordon Gard. LA MAHOU, THE BEST In both cases, both for special and classic beers, Mahou achieves the highest notes. It is one of the most important beer companies of Spanish origin, founded in Madrid in 1890. But there are others that have been analyzed in the study and that also stand out for their good value for money. Among them, we must mention the classic Cordon Gran, by Eroski, and the special one by Steinburg, by Mercadona. The OCU's analysis refers to both as "master purchases". In general, all the analyzed beers are "well processed", the OCU said in its statement. But they point out, however, some problems in labeling and additives: 8 of the 34 contain colorants and stabilizers, and some of the brands, although they do not provide names, abuse terms such as 'Quality' or 'Premium'. 1
