Very dry and assertively bitter.
A trim base, a hop-led finish — the classic setup for a hop-forward beer.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Madrileño
◎ Appearance
Madrileño presents a bright, luminous gold with excellent clarity and fine carbonation. The head builds to a generous foam with strong and lasting adhesion to the glass, leaving defined lacing with each sip.
◌ Aroma
The nose opens with prominent stone fruit—ripe mango and passion fruit—alongside citrus notes of lime and lemon zest. A delicate fruity sweetness underlies the hop character, with no harsh or resinous edges; the Mosaic, Motueka and Nectaron blend creates an inviting, balanced aromatic profile.
◐ Taste
The palate opens soft and approachable, with the fruity sweetness from the nose carrying through the mid-palate. The body is velvety and full, allowing the hop-derived stone fruit and citrus flavors to develop without becoming sharp. Bitterness arrives restrained and dry at the close, complementing rather than dominating the overall impression.
◑ Finish
The finish is clean and moderately short, with lingering citrus notes and a pleasant drying sensation. The bitterness fades gracefully, leaving the fruit-forward character as the final memory.

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
Store in a cool, dark place. Check the best-before date on the label for guidance.
