Description
Our brewery is, today, the oldest craft beer factory in the Canary Islands. It was founded by a German master brewer in 1999. It is a family business in which several generations work hand in hand to produce a product of which they can be proud. Since 1999 we have given everything to offer a high quality product. We started with a small factory already set up in San Fernando. Thanks to constant growth, production was transferred to Arinaga in 2004, building the current factory for it.

Hazy yellow, smooth white head
Aroma is mostly lemons, but a tad sweet due to the oranges also used. Very lemo juicy. Super refreshing. Not cheap fanta-radler this one.... flavor is lemon and sweet malts finding a white bready balance. Bit less impressive than the Aroma and feels sweetened.

Clear light golden , white head.
Mild pils aroma, ever so slightly cutrussy and a bit more flowery, butt basically quite neutral. Malty notes. Flavor is malty, slightly flowery soft water treatment, end is more malty. Somewhere between a very traditional German pils and a homebrew. After more sips, malts start to dominate and I taste the biter German hops more. This could easily be a German craft pils

Clear to slightly cloudy dark golden , smooth head. Looks good
Nutty malty aroma with perhaps a little Vienna like roasted Ness. Guldøl. Bit strange for an ale.

Flavor is bitter nutty malty with a smooth feel to rhe palate, but still also crisp water treatment. Hops are mostly euro neutral, makes me think of UK ales, there is a tiny bit of flowery sweetness here though.
