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.

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.

Bottle in Spain. Pours a near clear amber with an off white head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Arora has sweet bread and sweet grains with a bit of straw underlying. Flavor starts with sweet grains, has a growing bread note and a slight earthiness in the finish.
