Zumo

Tap to rate

A hazy, juicy IPA with a ton of tropical aromas thanks to a generous amount of Mosaic, Citra and El Dorado hops. The brewery calls it freshly squeezed. Zumo is one of the three best-known beers in Basqueland's fixed range, next to Santa Clara Helles and Imparable IPA. The brewery in Hernani produced more than 800,000 litres in 2024.

◌ Aroma

The nose is immediately tropical and juicy, with Mosaic, Citra, and El Dorado hops delivering prominent notes of stone fruit, citrus zest, and ripe mango. Soft, grainy malts provide a gentle backdrop without competing for attention. A fresh, squeezed-juice quality dominates the overall aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

The palate enters soft and full-bodied, with a wave of fruity hop character that echoes the nose—mango, passionfruit, and orange notes blend seamlessly with a creamy mouthfeel. Bitterness remains restrained at 20 IBU, allowing the hop-derived sweetness to take precedence. A refreshing, gently drying sensation builds through the mid-palate without sharp edges.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
