This American IPA captures the essence of the Mediterranean shore with a sensory profile built on vibrant fruity hops and a refreshing, natural character. Pouring with a soft, natural haze from its unfiltered production, it presents a bright bouquet of tropical fruit and citrus aromas anchored by a light, grainy malt base. The 43 IBU bitterness is well-integrated, providing a firm but balanced structure that highlights the quality malts used in Mijas. Double fermentation contributes to a clean, crisp finish, mirroring the foamy path of the sea, while leaving a pleasant, lingering fruitiness on the tongue.
