Description
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.

A yellow beer with a small head. The aroma is sour with notes of medicin. The flavor is of caramel and straw with an OK bitter end. A boring lager.

Light copper colour. Large bubbles. Minimal head. Aroma of toasted grains, slight corn, caramel, light grassy Continental hop. Body is sweet, showing slightly cloying caramel notes and DMS - creamed corn sweetness. Finish is sweet and eerily reminsicent of 7UP, with a little unfermented wort added for good measure.

Bottled. Golden colour, creamy head. Sweet and fruity. Half decent, but lacks everything that ends with "aracter".

Relatively civilized for Spanish beer, sort of Italian-style if anything, but still just a light, uninteresting international lager.
