Score
5.76
ABV: 8.0% IBU: 27 Ticks: 61
A strong lager that offers a perfect balance between the malts, the hops and the high alcohol content. Our Brewmasters recover one of the old Hijos de Rivera historic recipes, the “Especial Extra” (aka La Colorada). Brewed in the only Company’s brewery placed in A Coruña using our traditional methods: best ingredients, long maturing time, passion for the excellence. An intense amber beer. In aroma the balance shifts slightly in favor of the malts, with pleasant sweet notes, caramel-like. The bitterness balances the intense alcohol content and the light piquant aftertaste.

This can is coming from the carrefour, Sevilla Este. Opening it today at home, Epalinges, and it was a good union with the rainy weather. For me, it was a pleasant amber beer, a bit bock, really, smooth and malty, fruity, generous touch of toffee, subtle sweetness, hop, 02.11.23

Il gusto al naso resta attratto dall'orzo tostato. L'intensità olfattiva è normale e la maniera in cui permane è sufficiente. Il mantello birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma che resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il colore è ambrato. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è discreto. La forza gustativa è elevata e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. In bocca l'aroma è quello di caramello, miele, frutta secca, pane tostato, agrumi e arancia.

0.33l bottle from Vrutak Krapinska. Crystal clear dark amber body, off-white head, gone soon but thick at least. Oxidized malty, caramelly aroma, alcohol. Oxidized caramelly, malty taste, some stronger than expected bitter herbal hoppiness in the finish, the alcohol clearly in evident. Slightly cloying. Huh, old-school cheap doppelbock, or ESL rather.
