Alhambra Reserva 1925 is a Spanish lager at 6.4%, amber in colour and carrying more weight than a standard Spanish lager, trading lightness for depth and a touch of old-world character in the glass.

The aroma leans toward toasted malt and a touch of caramel, with a flavour that's rounder and maltier than a typical pale lager, balanced by a moderate bitterness and a fuller, medium body. It comes in a distinctive embossed bottle that sets it apart on the shelf as much as in the glass.

Serve it cold but let it sit a minute, since the malt character opens up as it warms slightly, and it's worth drinking fresh rather than keeping.
