Ferran Adria, considered by many to be the world's greatest chef, closed down his restaurant El Bulli last year. So the chance for my wife and I to taste his food went from slim to pretty much non existent. My wife did come across a bottle of beer at her work that was created by Ferran Adria, the Damm brewmasters, Julia Soler, and El Bulli's sommelier team called Estrella Damm INEDIT. So for me to taste anything created by him I think I am going to have to settle for his beer. When I first went online to find it I thought it was going to be very expensive and hard to find. Turns out I could get it at the Bevmo close by and it is selling for only $9.99 for a 750 ml bottle, not to bad. We had a small 4th of July barbecue last week and decided to open it up to have with our burgers and hot dogs. We both enjoyed it. It is a nice, light, easy drinking beer. Here are the tasting notes I got off of their website:
Tasting notes: High intensity and aromatic complexity. Its appearance is slightly cloudy. Fruity and floral to the nose, with a yeasty sensation and sweet spices reminiscences. Creamy and fresh texture, soft volume and delicate carbonic. Long aftertaste and pleasant memory.
Made to accompany the festival of flavours modern cuisine offers us. For Sommeliers trying to accomodate different types of flavours has always been a nightmare... now there is a solution!
With its delicate, sophisticated bubbles this beer can take acidic, sweet and sour flavours by the hand. the symphony of flavours in each dish is different, but there can be a common thread capable of unifying them all, for a sense of continuity so there is no need to switch drinks. This beer has a rich and highly adaptable bouquet. In other words a unique personality: smooth yet complex.
If you go to their website you can listen to video's about the beer, read a lot of good info on it, and find out where to get it. www.estrelladamminedit.com
