Beyakka Negra y Verde

Tap to rate

Black and green: roasty and bitter, harmonious and silky, with generous body, brutal intensity and a striking balance. The brewery calls it a mythical reference, made in the middle of a thousand scrapes and without fear. The name Negra y Verde means black and green. The Murcia brewery has brewed its own brand since 2009.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Beyakka Negra y Verde

◎ Appearance

Deep garnet-black with ruby edges held to the light, presenting excellent clarity despite the dark roast character. A dense, persistent tan head builds with aggressive pour and clings to the glass with fine Schaumkleiden. Carbonation is crisp and purposeful, supporting the structural presence without effervescence.

◌ Aroma

Roasted malt and dark chocolate dominate the nose, complemented by coffee grounds and bitter cocoa powder. Noble hop character emerges with citrus pith and herbal earth, creating a compelling tension between malt intensity and hop complexity. The aroma conveys strength without heaviness—structured and inviting rather than aggressive.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with bold roasted character—espresso and charred grain—followed by a full, silky body that resolves into clean, resinous bitterness. Mid-palate balances coffee notes with citrus and herbal hop flavors at 70 IBU, creating the promised harmony without muddiness. Finish is dry and persistent, with the bitterness lingering as a refined aftertaste rather than a harsh bite.

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.
