Cruzcampo
Founded on 22 December 1904 by brothers Tomás and Roberto Osborne in Seville. Named after the Cruz del Campo, the plot of land where the original brewery stood. In 1904 the brewery discovered a unique yeast strain that gives Cruzcampo its characteristic smooth bitterness, herbal and fruity aroma — still used today. Brewed chilled and unpasteurized, served at -2°C without excess foam. Acquired by Heineken in 2000. Spain's most historically significant Andalusian lager.

How we measure this
Two thresholds are at work here:
- The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
- The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.
A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
