Beer review: San Miguel Especial (5.4% Spain: Grupo Mahou-San Miguel)


San Miguel Especial is a lager beer, more specifically a pale lager. It's brewed by Grupo Mahou-San Miguel, the leading brand in the Spanish beer market. The brewery was founded in 1890 and San Miguel Especial has been brewed since 1957. Today the brewery produces 75 % of all Spanish beer consumed worldwide.

Taste: The San Miguel Especial is a light-bodied lager with a slightly sweet malty aroma, with hints of corn. The beer features a sharp metallic taste and finishes with a slightly bitter, faint herbal hoppiness.

Overall the San Miguel Especial is a decent lager. It's everything that one could expect from a bulk lager and what sets it apart from all the others is its slightly sweet aroma with a faint taste of corn. However, the bulk quality of production clearly shows and unfortunately it's nothing "especial".

2.5/5
