Alhambra Tradicional

Tap to rate

Alhambra Tradicional is a bottom-fermented lager at 4.6 % ABV, described by the brewery as Pilsen style with German inspiration. It is matured so the flavours can develop and filtered until bright. The colour is a pale gold under a lasting head. The aroma is light, with a subtle mix of fruity and floral impressions. In the mouth the bitterness is low and soft, and with a moderate body the beer tastes very refreshing. It is made from water, barley malt, maize and hops.
