Tap to rate

Miel y Anís is La Sagra's winter seasonal, an amber, malt-led ale brewed with honey from the Montes de Toledo and whole aniseed. It pours a dark amber with red highlights and reaches 6.4 percent. The nose is sweet, with blossom notes, liquorice-like anise and a hint of stone fruit. On the palate caramelised malt gives a round, mellow sweetness with a honeyed edge, while the anise adds a gentle spiced lift. The finish is soft and warming.
