Tap to rate

Alhambra Barrica de Ron Granadino is a Märzen-style lager aged in oak barrels that previously held Granada rum, inspired by the historic flavours of the city and its sugar cane. It has 6.0 % ABV and is made from water, barley malt, maize and hops. The colour is a bright copper under a firm head. The aroma is complex, wrapped in a soft alcohol fragrance. The taste combines caramel and toasted cereal with coconut, dried fruit and vanilla from the wood. The body is silky and moderate, with light bitterness and a slightly sweet finish.
