Estrella Galicia Special Light is a highly refreshing American Light Lager designed for maximum drinkability with 35% fewer calories and a low 2.5% ABV. It presents a nearly neutral sensory profile characterized by a very pale straw appearance and brilliant clarity. The aroma is delicately light, offering only faint hints of grainy malt and a clean fermentation profile. On the palate, it is exceptionally crisp and dry, featuring very low bitterness that allows a subtle, corn-like sweetness to provide a brief moment of balance before a short, clean finish. This very light-bodied lager emphasizes high carbonation for a sharp, thirst-quenching carbonic bite.
