Victoria Vendeja

Tap to rate

An IPA from Málaga, named after the vendejas — the women who packed the harvest for export in the 1800s and made Málaga the country's second largest commercial port. Mango and citrus lead the glass, clearly fruit-forward; at 38 IBU the bitterness stays in check and lets the fruit run. At 5.2 percent, an IPA of southern character — serve at five to seven degrees.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with ripe mango and stone fruit, immediately tropical and inviting. Citrus notes—lemon zest and grapefruit—layer beneath, supported by a subtle herbal edge from noble hops. No aggressive resin or pine; the aromatic profile remains fruit-forward and clean.

◐ Taste

The palate opens soft and fruity, with mango and passionfruit flavors establishing the core. Citric acidity adds brightness without harshness. Bitterness emerges gently at mid-palate—balanced rather than dominant—allowing the fruit to remain the focal point throughout. Body is light and refreshing, never cloying.

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.
