Day 209-Beer 209 Cerveza Alhambra Reseva 1925, Grupo Cervezas Alhambra, SL,Granada Spain

Back to Spain after a short trip to Canada, this beer is a Euro Strong Lager(6.4%ABV).
Many breweries around the world brew a stronger version of their regular lager. For the US there is the Ice Beer & Malt Liquor, both have a high amount of rice or corn to lighten the flavor. Many European & Asian breweries have a strong lager similar to the Malt Liquor though there is more malt use or it is all malt.


Reserva 1925 poured a golden amber colour with okay head that left a thin layer of lacing across the surface. The aroma is sweet malts, honey, nut and a hint of grassy hops. The flavour is not a sweet as expected but rather a nice balance of malt and hops with crisp dry finish. A fairly good Euro Strong Lager 3.6 out of 5
