Ordum Lager

I am a farmer. As such, I like things that taste like a place. The place they are grown, or made, or what have you. Ordum is proud of where they make their beers - the village of Borines. They proudly announce on every label "elaborada con agua de manatial de Borines" - made with spring water from Borines.

I also spend some of my summers in the Czech Republic. In doing so, I have developed a deep appreciation for Bohemian-Style Pilseners. They are by far my favorite type of beer to drink in summer. The body is noticeable but not heavy, the nose is spicy and yeasty, and the spicy notes linger on your lips long after the sip is swallowed.

This is an excellent example of the style. It is, for lack of a more precise term, friendly. It wants to be drunk by you. Now. At a picnic table under a shade tree.
