4 Alqueries La Mar
4 Alqueries La Mar is a luminous and balanced Blonde Ale that serves as a sensory showcase for the distinctive character of New Zealand Nelson Sauvin hops. This bright, straw-colored ale opens with a clean, grainy malt backbone, immediately complemented by the surprising and unique sensory cues of white grape and gooseberry. The palate is defined by a soft maltiness and a refreshing, medium-dry finish that accentuates the elegant fruit-forward profile. With a well-integrated bitterness and crisp clarity, it offers a sophisticated yet approachable drinking experience where the hop-derived fruitiness dances harmoniously alongside subtle bready malts.
Appearance. Light gold color (approximately 4 SRM) with brilliant clarity. It pours with a moderate white head that shows fair retention and leaves light lacing on the glass.
Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring a clean, grainy malt base with subtle bready notes. The standout aromatic profile is driven by Nelson Sauvin hops, contributing clear white grape, gooseberry, and vinous qualities. Low fruity esters and a clean fermentation profile.
Taste. Initial soft maltiness with flavors of white bread and light grain. The hop flavor is prominent but not aggressive, showcasing the signature white grape and subtle tropical fruit of the Nelson Sauvin variety. Bitterness is medium-low (within the 15–28 IBU range), providing just enough structure to balance the malt. Finishes medium-dry and clean.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with moderate to high carbonation that enhances the refreshing quality. Smooth texture without any harshness or astringency; a very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present at 5.5% ABV.
