Barbaritat

Tap to rate

Herbal hop aromas lead this American IPA from Puerto de Sagunto. On the palate, herbal and resinous hop flavours sit on a malty bed with a sweet, caramelised base. The bitterness is pronounced but never unpleasant, and the beer goes down smoothly. It pours a clear gold under a thick, persistent white head with abundant carbonation. Cosa Nostra, founded in 2019 by brewmaster Vicente Bernal, specialises in IPAs.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with herbal and resinous hop flavours that sit comfortably atop a sturdy malty foundation. A sweet, caramelised base provides structure and body, while pronounced bitterness develops through the mid-palate without ever becoming harsh or astringent. The beer drinks smoothly and finishes clean, the malt and hops in measured harmony.

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