Ambar Morena

Tap to rate

Ambar Morena, introduced in 2023, is a lager made entirely from malt that is toasted for 24 hours. Its aroma recalls toasted nuts over a spiced background, under a white, fluffy foam. On the palate it has a medium body, a gently baked cereal flavour and a well-balanced bitterness, finishing slightly bitter and lingering.

◐ Taste

Medium body carries baked cereal flavors and gentle malt sweetness across the palate. Bitterness arrives measured and well-integrated, neither sharp nor fleeting, creating balance rather than dominance. The finish leans slightly toward lingering bitterness without harshness.
