Espiga Tropical

Espiga Tropical 44cl is a West Coast Pils that redefines the boundaries between a lager and an intensely hopped beer. With 5.2% ABV and a clean, dry, and extraordinarily refreshing profile, it combines the drinkability of a pilsner with an aromatic explosion typical of the best modern West Coast styles.

Brewed with a generous double dry hopping of Superdelic, Citra, and Nectaron, it offers an intense expression of tropical fruits and citrus over a light, crisp malt base. The result is a brilliant, highly aromatic beer with a dry, resinous finish that invites you to keep enjoying every sip. A must-have for those seeking a refreshing beer without compromising on hop character.

Character, Flavor, Aromas

Espiga Tropical displays a brilliant, light golden color, crystal clear and crowned by a fine, persistent white foam. On the nose, it unfolds an exuberant profile where aromas of peach, papaya, passion fruit, pineapple, and fresh citrus stand out, accompanied by delicate hints of red berries and a subtle touch of ripe banana.

On the palate, it surprises with its extraordinary lightness and cleanliness. The malt base offers a very subtle support that allows the hops to express themselves with full intensity. The tropical flavors are balanced by a dry, resinous, and slightly herbal bitterness that provides depth without losing freshness.

Food Pairing

Its dry profile and powerful aromatic character make Espiga Tropical an excellent companion for grilled fish, seafood, ceviche, sushi, fish tacos, burgers, artisan pizzas, and Asian cuisine. It also harmonizes perfectly with fresh salads, soft cheeses, and lightly spiced dishes, where its tropical freshness and elegant bitterness cleanse the palate and enhance the flavors.

There are beers that refresh and others that leave a mark. Espiga Tropical achieves both: a beer that is easy to enjoy, but with enough nuances to keep you coming back for more.
