Aurora is a 7% ABV West Coast IPA brewed to celebrate eleven more turns around the sun of Cervesa Espiga. Its bright golden color evokes the sun that gives us life. On the nose it offers an intense and fresh profile of Zappa, Mosaic, Centennial and Citra hops, with herbal, citrus and fruity notes. On the palate it is light and flavorful, with a clean and balanced bitterness that invites you to keep drinking. A vibrant and festive beer, perfect for toasting and recharging our energy to keep making many more turns around the sun.
Malts: Barley malt.
Hops: Zappa, Mosaic, Centennial and Citra.

44cl can, canned 09/2025, BB 10/2026, lot# 25-964.
Dorée, col blanc-cassé crémeux.
Arôme est bien houblonné - herbacé, herbes méditerannéennes, pointe de pin, mentheolé tout en ayant un excellent support malté - pâle, caramel, pils.
Palais sur un côté fruité 'pungent', assez malté presque 'moldy udnertones' allanat vers l'APA plus que l'IPA. Effet houblonné rappelant les froot loops, palmplemousse rose, watermelon avec un fini huileux léger, feuilles de menthe et un support malté qui enrobe le tout allant presque vers un côté fumé.

Herbal bordering sulphuric aroma, earthy.
Flavor is messy west coast hoppy with notes of hay , herbs , licorice root, quite sweet malty, good malts, smooth , pretty good malty smooth brew, but not west coast ipa as i remember Them. More like a malty version of neipa , also reminds me of english beer, like mild, ( the malts ) . Weird.
Very drinkable once i accept not much hops , could work well with very flavorful/spicy food. (So not spanish food, lol)
Should be sold as an APA imho Can says west coast IPA i dont know. Perhaps west coast of spain.
