Ye Cerveza
From Eating Asturias, the Encyclopedia of Asturian Gastronomy
This is as close to a bog-standard pilsener as you're going to find almost anywhere. I mean, it's right there in the name: ye cerveza - It's Beer.
This is a beer you drink when you don't want to pretend you're drinking an IPA (but hopped down for your palate), or a dark beer (but lightened up for your palate). It's a good, honest, unpretentious pilsener
