Is an imaginary city from which those who look for adventure set sail. Our tribute to the explorer Ernest Shackeltown. It is a deep copper beer with a compact and persistent head. Stone fruits aromas (peach, apricot), with fresh balsamic and spicy hints. Intense and lasting bitterness, balanced with a full body.

Can from Super Amara, a city centre supermarket in San Sebastian. Dark amber with a head. Certainly strong, but its smooth texture helps neutralise this to an extent. Beyond its hoppy nose, some bready flavoured malts exist in taste.

Tap at the brewery tap in San Sebastian. A mostly clear reddish amber coloured pour with a sticky off white head. Aroma is nice floral pine, sticky sap, toffee, Douglas fir. Flavour is composed of semi sweet, weed, sticky pine, resin, toffee, biscuit, malts. Palate is semi sweet, sticky resin, moderate carbonation. Decent. Old school ipa.
