A toast to Hive! | The #BeerSaturday Challenge Week 421

Hello #beer lovers!

Here's my entry for the BeerSaturday Challenge Week 421 that @detlev proposes to us.

Thanking @abelarte for his invitation to participate in this #Beersaturday challenge, first of all, I want to invite @gretelarmfeg to tell us about his beer preferences!

As everyone knows, our country is subject to a hot climate for most of the year, and a cold beer, any day, is always appreciated.

So, today I'm taking advantage of the invitation to share with you a beer brewed in #Cuba thanks to a brewery built with German support on Holguín land, in the eastern part of the country, in 1997.

While it's not really one of my favorites, I appreciate drinking it from time to time to remember its strong, bitter flavor and unique consistency on the palate that sets it apart from other domestic beers, which tend to be smoother.

A lager, with 5.4% alcohol, it offers a more intense and malty flavor than the typical blond beer found here. It has a medium body with a persistent foam, highlighting its roasted malt notes and a subtle bitterness that balances its initially apparent sweetness.

We can regularly find it at the market, when they're stocked up—something that's not common these days—in two varieties. I'm showing you this one, and another type called Max, which is a bit stronger.

If you have the chance to share it with friends, or if you're alone but it's hot and you want to cool off, don't hesitate to drink it and always remember to think about #hive!

I'll say goodbye with a hug for everyone and an invitation to smile while we toast life!

Cheers!
