Cornamusa
Cornamusa is the Spanish nautical word for a cleat, and the beer honours Mary Read, the English sailor and soldier who sailed with Calico Jack Rackham and Anne Bonny before her capture in 1720. The brewery calls it an American amber ale. It pours bright copper with reddish glints under a prominent, creamy head. Tropical papaya and passion fruit sit in balance with caramel malt on the nose. Fresh yet full-bodied, it weighs hop freshness against the sweetness of crystal malts. At the Barcelona Beer Challenge it has won silver twice and bronze twice.
