Poured from a 33 cl bottle bought in Madrid. "Rubia" is "Blond" in Spanish. The La Cibeles website says this is a very pale ale brewed with several varieties of US and European hops, with Cascade being primary.
A - Medium straw color, slightly hazy with some suspended particles, even though I poured carefully and avoided the bottle sediment. Head is pure white; initially 1.5 cm thick, then quickly faded to a thin, broken sheet.
S - Aroma is definitely dominated by citrusy hops, but it is not overly fresh and clean. I do detect Cascade, but the hops picture is a bit muddled, with some earthy hop aromas as well. Malt is barely detectable as a grain-like note at the end.
T - Not a smooth and drinkable blond ale. The hops flavor hits in a harsh way; I think the Cascade combined with a noble hop has created a slightly jarring flavor combination. The only malt is a late note of grain.
M - Body is thin. Carbonation is prickly and sharp. Hops bitterness is astringent and almost soap-like. No alcohol notes.
O - A decent attempt at an American Blond, but the overall impression is harsh and the tastes and aromas are a bit jumbled. It's not the simple, soft, drinkable beer I expect for a blond ale.
