Brétema —Galician for fog— drifts in as a modern Double IPA layered with depth and character.
Brewed with lager malt, flaked oats, and wheat, it unfolds into a silky, enveloping body that feels both grounded and expansive. Through the haze, Strata, Ella, El Dorado, and El Dorado Lupomax shine with notes of tropical fruit salad, forest berries, and pineapple in syrup.
A measured touch of bitterness cuts through the sweetness, bringing balance and clarity to this lush, ultra-tropical beer, finishing clean yet lingering like mist at dawn.
Hops: Strata, El Dorado, Ella, El Dorado Lupomax
