APATXE means “the enemy”. It's a deep amber beer characterized by an intense citric aroma, with orange peel hints. Initial sweetness on mouth that precedes a pleasant bitterness enhancing this beer’s clean and fresh ending.

330ml can. Pours a hazy gold amber with a small, creamy, long lasting, off-white head that laces. Sweet aroma of bready wheat malt, caramel, toffee and herbal hops. Sweet flavour of grainy wheat malt, orange, caramel, grapefruit and piney hops in a dry, bitter finish. Light body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Crushable.

Can from Super Amara supermarket in the pretty city centre of San Sebastian. Golden with a head. Understated but very drinkable for its strength. Some hoppiness and a light sweetness.
