So it's been ten years that Fábrica Maravillas has been serving us local craft beer, right in the heart of the city. They've been sticking in some guest taps and doing some brewing for others in the last few years, and have a snack menu now too. They've even planted some tables outside (across the street) in response to COVID restrictions, that might not be forced to pack up when we go back to "normal". Another change over the years has been the availability of their beers; they started selling bottles - at Cervezorama - and later had the possibility of growlers for the most needy customer to fill their needs even at home at 3:30 in the morning. Finally, like many, they have turned to cans. Now, you can run in and grab a can of Cabrona Cuvee, or Compis, or WAM to drink at your leisure in your refuge. Compis NEIPA is my leisurely choice today.
It pours kind of thickly, with a succulent sound filling the glass. It looks like a more substantial beer than many, very cloudy and a color like dusty fruit. Head is fluffy and thick as well, making a very attractive drink. It has a pine forest in its aroma, evoking northern woods and greenery. We'd be happy to have some greenery here, but we'd need a little more rain first. It has an oddly salty flavor, backed with a calming bit of melon. It's not as fruity or piney as you might expect from a NEIPA, but there's definitely a full body of beer in the glass. It's a smooth and satisfying weighty drink, despite the subdued flavor. Actually, it goes very well with the season, not being flashy or overly bright. A warm winter beverage, just a touch of sunshine for the end of your day.
Price: €7.90
