Salinas de Añana is a Fruited Sour with Sal de Añana, a mineral jewel from the Basque Country, enhancing the fruity notes and delivering a lively, refreshing sensation in every sip.
Brewed together with our friends from Manchester’s Cloudwater Brewing, it combines blueberry, mango, strawberry, sour cherry, and currant, on a silky base reminiscent of a natural smoothie.
Body: dense and velvety, with a smoothie-like texture.
Color: deep red, with purple highlights and a light head.
Aroma and flavor: sour with an explosion of red and tropical fruits, with notes of sour cherry, ripe mango, and fresh strawberry, balanced by a saline touch that invites another sip.
Finish: juicy, with a mineral hint that amplifies the flavor.
This is the eighth of nine collaborations celebrating our 10th anniversary, a beer that combines freshness and juiciness in a unique sensory experience.

CBJ Sit-In. Opaque ruby. No head. Aroma is full on pukpy berries. Flavourwise it has a bitter tart hit with a vague hint of underlying sweet berries. Medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Nice.

Thick, darker pink head over fully hazy carmosine beer. Putteke , sweet fruit pulp, red fruit, sulphur. Sourish, fruitsour, mineral, mango, red berries, unripe banana. Well-bodied/fruit filled. Smooth texture despite good carbonation. Yet another beer that hangs between styles. Super Gose, maybe? Very nice, anyway.
