Especial
SanFrutos ESPECIAL is an amber ale built on roasted malt and caramel — aromas that anchor the beer without overwhelming it. Ripe stone fruit and piney notes emerge behind the malt, creating a profile that is intense yet balanced, never tipping into heaviness. The finish is dry and moderately warming, making this a beer that invites a second glass rather than demanding food to justify its presence. Serve at cellar temperature, around 50–52 °F, in a standard pint glass.
