Amparo Trigo

Spain·American Wheat Ale
Tap to rate

Creamy and light with a citrusy touch, this wheat beer has a velvety texture, a yeasty fragrance and a creamy head, and tastes soft. It is made with wheat malt. The name plays on amparo, shelter: the brewery casts the beer as a remedy and a sanatorium stop for anyone tired of spineless industrial beers, before flying again.
