A small but well curated tap and bottle list. Most of the taps were pouring Spanish beers but they also had The Kernel’s stout on, which was a pleasant surprise. Bottle ranged from trendy hazies to Cantillon Fou Foune. Three different size pours from the tap was nice. We didn’t eat but next time we will. Indoor and outdoor seating- the outdoor is great for people watching. A really nice little bar.

Absolutely packed the night we showed up. Crowds spilling into the streets and while no music was being played, it was very loud from all the conversations. Lively atmosphere to say the least. Brightly lit with loads of beer paraphernalia on the walls. The beer list is lengthy but not all that inspired. I had an IPA on tap that was old and tasted like the lines were dirty. The staff was friendly enough but service was definitely not the #1 priority. This place was probably legit 10-15 years ago but the beer world has long since passed it by and the bar hasn’t tried to do anything to keep up. I wouldn’t consider this as a 1st or 2nd tier list of places to hit in Seville.

Deep brown with a beige head. Molasses, chocolate, chewy toffee, dark malts, dark fruits. Full bodied. Deep malty sweet caramel finish. Lovely.

Opaque golden with a white head. Oddly enough, it has tropical hops, oat cream sweetness, and is a bit tangy. Full bodied. Literally as good as the world’s best hazies but without brand recognition. That’s not saying anything cause hazies s*uck.

A touch of haze on this glowing golden beer. White head. Clean, classic lager. Crisp hops, spicy, light Pilsner malts. A touch of sweetness balances the spice. It’s nice but I don’t really pick up anything special from the wet hops but it is an enjoyable lager.

From notes: Amber/copper with a white head. Grass, pine, nice malt backbone. Medium bodied. Good bitter finish. A definite winner here.
