Episode 126 – Estrella Damm Inedit

We end out 2009 year with the Estrella Damm group from Barcelona, Spain. We try their Inedit, a much-hyped, pinky-in-the-air wheat beer. The marketing message and website push this beer as a white-wine drop-in replacement – served in a wine bottle, recommended with a white wine glass, and even said to have been developed with wine sommeliers. They also claim this is the first beer to be “specifically created to accompany food” (which is laughable). Unfortunately, snobbery will get you nowhere, and the flavor of this beer falls far short. While clean and refreshing, this brings nothing unique to the table, and there are better beers to have with food. Still, a good clean beer (and beautiful bottle) to say goodbye to 2009 with, and we hope everyone has a safe, happy, and amazing new year!
