Dry & Bitter Santa Cruiz is a New England IPA brewed as a seasonal beer with lots of hop aroma and a soft, creamy mouthfeel.
The beer has a hazy, golden appearance and a nice, airy head. The taste is characterized by tropical fruits such as mango, pineapple and citrus, balanced by a mild, round bitterness that gives a pleasant finish.
The name and design tie the beer to Christmas, but the style is fresh and modern – a clear contrast to the classic dark Christmas beers. Santa Cruiz is therefore an exciting choice for those who want a lighter and more hop-aromatic beer for the cozy moments of winter.
Hops: Mandarina Baveria T90, Citra T90, Simcoe T90

Copenhagen 1/11 2025. 44 cl can from Meny, Borups Allé, Frb. F. Close up of anti Claus with sunglasses riding a bike on the can.
Pours slightly unclear yellow with a mid.sized white head. Settles as a thin but unbroke layer of foam just covering the surface of the beer- Moderate lacing-
Aroma is fairæy intense with a sweet odor of tropical fruits mingling with a zesty and bit aggressive scent of citrus fruit. Sweet pineapple and passion fruit. Grapefruit and lemon. A little searing.
Light carbonation. Slightly thick, oily, soft, lightly tingling texture.
Flavor is is fairly intense with a light sweetness followed by a rather strong bitterness. Aftertaste is bitter and citric. Lngers for a while. Finish is dry.
A zesty Christmas Greeting.
