Chupacabras Pale Ale

One year ago I tried a Chupacabras at a beer tasting in a local liqueur store in Monterrey. To start, only by the name I was intrigued about that beer. Chupacabras is the name given to the mysterious animal that in the late 90's used to kill goats and other farm animals in ranches all around the north part of Mexico. I didn't believe any of those stories and at the end I think it was a big deal made by the Mexican government to take the attention of the Mexican population while they increased rates and prices of gas, electricity, and water. Any way, I was excited to try this beer. Then, I found out that the style of this beer was one of my favorites: Pale Ale, this very hoppy and aromatic English style that seduces the most demanding palates.
The experience that I had was amazing, out of this world. To start the beer has this deep copper color that is very attractive to the eye with a rich and creamy head that encapsulates the magnificent flavors that this bee has. You can appreciate delicate notes of dark caramel and toasted nuts that tells you that you're about to try a beer with a robust body. The taste is so good!! It has a light citric flavor and at the end it leaves the most awesome hoppy flavor ever!! It has a very long persistence in the mouth, something that in my opinion is one of the most important things in a beverage in general.
It has 5.8% of alcohol, is strong considering the Mexican market and it won the gold medal in the World Beer Championship in 2007.
It’s just an experience that everyone should have in their lives
Chupacabras is a beer from Cucapá, a Microbrewery located in Mexicali, Baja California that latter I'll talk about.
