🌍 Spain · Pale Lager · One of 101 Pale Lagers in hopIQ

Daura was launched in 2006 after Damm's brewers worked with the gluten unit of Spain's national research council, CSIC, on a lager that keeps barley malt as its base. The gluten chain is broken down by enzymatic hydrolysis and protein precipitation, and CSIC tests each batch before release. Water, barley malt, rice and hops go in at 13.1 °P. It pours gold with amber tones and a green shimmer under a lasting cream head. Fresh spice and a hint of roast lead the nose, toasted cereal fills the palate, bright acidity keeps it lively and the bitterness lingers.
