Beers similar to Estrella Galicia Especial

Hijos de Rivera

Dortmunder Export·Spain·5.5% ABV·One of 98 Dortmunder Exports in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Estrella Galicia Especial's malty and noble-hoppy character. Malt and hops share the aroma in balance; on the palate the lager is lightly floral and herbal, with moderate warmth, a malty start and an intense, long-lasting hop sensation that ends pleasantly bitter. Bright golden, it was born in 1972 as Especial Rivera. Pilsen and roasted malt, some corn, Nugget and Perle Hallertau hops and the water of the city of A Coruña go into the kettle.
