Flamenca

Tap to rate

Caramel and roasted malt take the lead in this amber lager, with a malty character that stays in front. Flamenca is a tostada, the Spanish label for amber beers brewed with roasted malts, a category gaining ground across Spain. It comes from Sacromonte 1598, a craft brewery on the outskirts of Granada, not in the Sacromonte quarter itself.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and malty, with roasted and caramel flavors establishing themselves immediately on the palate. The mid-palate maintains this malty character while subtle toasty notes provide structure; moderate bitterness (22 IBU) keeps the sweetness balanced without aggressive bite. The body is smooth and medium-weight, finishing with a clean, refreshing character.
