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.

On tap at BierCab, pours a mostly clear blonde with a large white head. Aroma brings out tangy hops, some citrus and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is bright and hoppy, with tangy, grassy hops and crisp biscuity malt. Bright, fresh and nicely tangy. Great stuff.
