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.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Beer Market Jaffa. Thanks tomer. Clear copper. Aroma of malt, faint toastiness, DMS and a bit of caramel. Sweetish flavor with some malt, caramel, a bit of graininess and some unpleasant hot alcohol. Light to medium-bodied, a bit sticky.

330 ml bottle. The design of the labels is very nice but the inside of the bottle is not really enjoyable. The alcohol is not balanced and the finish is bitter.

330 ml bottle. Clear, deep golden body with a small white head. Weak grainy aroma with notes of caramel. Flavor has malt, some caramel, fruit and low bitterness. Medium body and short aftertaste. Not bad, just not very exciting, quite balanced and alcohol is surprisingly well hidden for a lager this strong in alcohol.
