The Alhambra Brewery was founded in 1925 by Carlos Bouvard, owner of the malt house La Moravia in Barcelona, and Antonio Knörr, from a family with a long beer tradition. Until 1954, this would remain a small brewery with only 20 employees, a subsidiary of the malt house in Barcelona. In that year, the Damm brewery takes a majority stake in the company and the Granada plant begins its steady growth. In 1979 Damm S.A. reorganizes Cervezas Alhambra, and Cruzcampo acquires a minority stake in the company. In 1999, Cervezas Alhambra became, thanks to the purchase of the Cordoban brewer of, among other things, the beer Mezquita, the largest brewer in Andalusia. In 2006 the company was bought by the Grupo Mahou-San Miguel, the largest beer company in Spain, of which it is still part today.
Color coñac, translucido. Espuma blanca cremosa y duradera. Rico aroma malteado notas de frutos rojos. En boca cuerpo moderado perfecta de gas, alcohol casi oculto. Buen sabor. Eminentemente malteado, caramelo, notas de nuevo ligeramente frutales. Muy bien hecha.
Not my favourite, drinkable without any problem with an industrial touch concerning the taste and the aromas, malty, toffee, alcool, 21.01.2019, buying it al Andaluz, Lausanne, Prélaz
clear dark amber colour, half inch of creamy beige-ish ecru head; aroma of unripe plum, cherry, rhum, raisins soaked into alcohol, woody, apple peel, canned apple and burnt sugary notes; taste has the same notes as can be felt in the aroma with the rhum being in the front; not bad, though a bit less-bodied for this alcoholic taste (though the ABV is not that high as it feels); not bad
330ml bottle from a Mercadona near Malaga. Pours clear pale golden with medium carbonation and a white head. Aromas & tastes of caramel, grain & malt. Medium body. Sweet finish.
