Que significa, "de punto de gas"

Question

The narrator in this story is talking about draft beer in barrels, which I think is "la cerveza a
presión”, The narrator also says that the beer is rich and tasty, but then adds, "de punto de gas".

Does that mean that the gas is “at the correct CO2 gas pressure”?

Here is the complete sentence in Spanish which I hope will help with the English translation of "de punto de gas":

"La cerveza a presión es muy rica de sabor y de punto de gas, y hay gente que la prefiere a la cerveza en botellín."

Muchas gracias. Thank you

Nilda, I think you are right on the money. It seems as though the author is referring to the beer's carbonation point (or CO2 saturation point).

Thank you so much franco. I think your "CO2 saturation point" sounds good. I know all things don't translate easily, but I like to get as close as I can to the meaning of what is being said. - Nilda-Ballardo, Apr 15, 2012
