Description
Mala Gissona was founded in Oiartzun in 2015 by Iban Zabala and Manu Murillo. Its name comes from the old Icelandic-Basque pidgin expression ''For ju Mala Gissuna'', meaning you´re a bad man, used in the 15th century by whale hunters. They have a taproom in San Sebastián, the Mala Gissona Beer House.

Bottle @ Van Moll Brewpub. Hazy dark amber color, medium sized beige head that lasts for quite a while. Aroma is indeed quite hoppy. Hmm better than expected so far. Taste malts, hops, light caramel, light tropical fruit notes and moderately bitter. Decent body, very soft smooth mouthfeel. Quite nice!
