  "account": "A premium beer from the Region of Murcia, Estrella de Levante's Reserva 60, has been named the world's best Dortmunder-style lager at the prestigious 2026 World Beer Awards. This local creation celebrated the brewery's 60th anniversary and showcases the region's brewing prowess. Reserva 60, with a 6.2% alcohol by volume and 24 IBUs, boasts a bright amber color and a creamy white head. Its flavor profile features toasted malt notes, subtle fruity undertones, and a full-bodied, crisp finish that remains refreshing in the warm Mediterranean climate. The recipe relies on locally grown Caravaca de la Cruz hops to maintain its Murcian roots. Master Brewer Ana Belén López aimed to create a beer with personality and body that would appeal to drinkers in the region's warm weather. Served between 6°C and 8°C, Reserva 60 offers complex depth and drinkability, available across southeastern Spain.",
