Al Andalus
This American Pale Ale showcases a refined sensory balance, lead by a traditional craft approach that emphasizes a nuanced four-malt foundation. The aroma is defined by a moderate-to-high hop presence, offering bright notes of citrus zest and resinous pine that layer over a complex, supportive base of toasted bread and light biscuit. On the palate, the interplay of four select malts provides a sturdy, grainy depth that anchors the firm hop bitterness without veering into cloying sweetness. It finishes remarkably clean and crisp, with a lingering floral quality and a refreshing, dry snap that emphasizes its drinkable, artisanal character.
Appearance. SRM 5-10; ranges from pale golden to deep amber. Generally quite clear with a moderately large, off-white head that demonstrates good retention and light lacing.
Aroma. Moderate to moderately-high intensity. Dominant hop character featuring citrus, floral, and piney notes. Supported by a low to moderate malt presence with bread, toast, and biscuit descriptors derived from the four-malt blend. Low fruity esters; clean fermentation profile.
Taste. Initial impression of citrusy and resinous hop flavor followed by a supportive malt backbone of toasted grain and light caramel. Moderate to high bitterness that remains well-balanced. Fermentation is clean with optional light esters. The finish is medium-dry to dry with a lingering but clean hop aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light to medium body with moderate to high carbonation. Overall smooth texture without any perceived astringency or harshness from the hops or grain bill.
