#79 - La Zaragozana - Ambar Especial - 5.2%

For the type, this is rather good; though, as I'm sure you'll all understand, Spanish Lager is hardly my tipple of choice.  It has several important factors in its favor, namely, price and versatility.  This was an Aldi find, and, at 99p per bottle, it is difficult to argue with other factors.  The versatility is also important however.  It is close enough to a Pacifico or Corona style that a wedge of lime could be used to taste, but it also has enough body to survive well on its own.  Compared to other 'beach sipping' lagers, I would score this quite well, probably up in the 7's, but when it is compared to some of the better classical ales, it pales in comparison.  5.5/10.
