Yakuza is a Belgian-style craft beer acidified with the mixed fermentation process and aged in white wine barrels for 24 months. Due to this long aging process, the taste of wine, wood and the acetic point are very present and persistent in each sip. Yakuza is delicate, intense and complex at the same time. This beer is a collaboration with Rec Brew. Intense aromas of wood and wine, with fruity notes (pineapple and apricot). Low to medium carbonation with low foam retention. Light foam. Light body. Golden color. Palate: starts with a remarkable acidity (originated by the flavors of mixed fermentation and long barrel aging) that lingers in the mouth and continues throughout the tasting. This is followed by citrus and floral notes, oak nuances, spicy notes and vanilla. Low alcohol perception. Beer with a dry profile but with a long drink, very drinkable and refreshing. Perfect pairing with seafood, lightly cooked fish, creamy cheeses of medium-high intensity, citrus salads
Little did Mikel Mendizabal and Marc Baulida, founding partners of La Calavera, imagine that their hobby of making beer at home would finally lead them to their current passion and profession. La Calavera was born around 2011 in a farmhouse in Ripollés that hosted the first steps of what, little by little, would become a consolidated brewery within the peninsular craft scene. Initially the brand, with its own factory located in Sant Joan de les Abadesses, was born with Ale fermentation beers of a very classic character, with a very small production that was around 30HL per month. His career delved into experimentation, as well as Barrel Aged, a specialization in beers aged in barrels of all types. The consistency in maturation, the effort, and the dedication that these styles require have consolidated a stable product, aimed at an entire sector of the more demanding, technical public and with a much broader vision of the traditional beer concept. Today, La Calavera has increased its production by an approximate average of 75 HL per month. Their philosophy as a brewery is to maintain a very high quality product at all times, and prioritize smaller but more careful production. Curating all the details, creating all the ideal situations, using top quality raw materials, maturing the beer in the barrels for as long as necessary to achieve a singular, different, unique and unrepeatable result.
