Cerveza Chica: I have to start by saying that I get very upset because so many of the beers that I am in love with are seasonal and this is undoubtedly one of them. I was excited when a friend gave us some older bottles of this that he had laying around. I found that it was a little bit more bitter and tart than it was originally when I tasted it. I feel like I can’t go wrong by drinking this beer. It is light enough, but the tartness will get to you after a while and your palette will just be so over stimulated that it will be tough to drink other beers after this one. This I feel is a must try when it comes out in spring time. It only comes in 4 packs though which is kind of annoying. They should sell them in 6 packs. This could be a good introduction to someone for sour beers in my opinion. I am already missing this beer and can’t wait for it to come out again next year. I really wish they distributed it year round.

La Cocinera: Well, I absolutely love sour beers so this one makes me happy. I had it for the first time almost a year ago at a Dogfish Head beer dinner. The first course was a salad with peaches, goat cheese, and a raspberry vinaigrette. It was paired with Festina Peche and to this day I still think that was one of my favorite pairings ever. So since that was the last time I had it, I was excited to be tasting it again. Well the first thing you get from the smell is sourness, which is a good thing. The taste is very similar to the smell. It's sour, citrusy, peachy, and a little bready. I think it's very pleasant and easy to drink. I'm curious to try pairing it with some different cheeses, and I'd definitely recommend a salad or maybe a fish dish with it.
