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.

Dorada, transparente, espuma blanca persistente. Débil aroma a malta y cereal. Ligera, maltosa, refrescante, ligero amargor...tal y como esperaba absolutamente nada de especial.

330ml bottle. Clear gold, small white head, nice retention. Malty aroma, some caramel and grassy hops; pretty standard. Taste is same but there is a nice bitter bite to the grassy hops in the finish with a light resin. Decent moderate body for a lager, quite smooth but still has the refreshing carbonation needed for a lager. Its ok.

Apariencia muy oscura, marrón muy muy oscuro, prácticamente negra. Bastante opaca y con una media capa de espuma muy compacta y de retención larga. Pinta bien.
Aromas muy agradables pero sutiles. Malta torrefacta, café, algo de cacao y un toque ahumado. En boca, mismos sabores pero potenciados por el cuerpo denso y completo de esta cerveza: de entrada café, ligero chocolate, malta tostada, algo de fruta dulce y un final largo: amargo y ahumado.
Impresionante esta cerveza de Alhambra, de lo mejor en cuanto a lo nacional.
