Description
Founded in 1900, Cervezas Ambar is an independent Spanish brewery that maintains the spirit of a constantly evolving family enterprise. With 18 beer varieties, it has more specialities than any other brand. It continues to produce beer at the same brewery where it began operations in the early part of the last century, located in the historic San José neighbourhood. There they maintain the craft processes of the 20th century, with their own malting facility and the only open vat fermentation room still in use anywhere in Spain.

Bottle courtesy of and shared with ogivlado (thanks!) Poured a shiny pale yellow-golden body with a small white head that went away relatively fast. The nose is very light, kinda fruity, maybe lemony. The taste is a letdown. It’s full in a way, but it feels somehow stale.. yeastiness, very light hopiness that one could call herbal I guess. Some maltiness pops up later on. Unimpressive but interesting for a Spanish macro.

Bottle 33cl: I think that it is the first hefe brewed in Spain. Big foamy head. Excellent appearance certainly. Cloudy with white head that fades but does not disappear. Aroma of lemon and a typical smooth mouthfeel. From my point of view one of the best beers brewed in Spain, once more again it has been La Zaragozana the brewery that it has made this possible.
