Albero IPA
IPA - India Pale Ale 5.6 º
This English IPA presents a modern bridge between tradition and contemporary hop profiles. The foundational malt presence is defined by bready and biscuity notes, creating a smooth backdrop for the American hop influence. Intense grapefruit and subtle pine notes from Chinook hops lead the charge, while Cascade provides a bright, floral, and citrus-forward character. A specialized dry-hop addition of Cryo Cascade amplifies the fruity freshness, lending a vibrant aromatic punch without overwhelming the structured British ale profile. It finishes dry with a clean, assertive bitterness that balances the delicate ester profile, making for a refreshing and sessionable daily interpretation.
Appearance. Deep golden to pale amber (8-10 SRM). Brilliant clarity with a moderate, persistent off-white head that leaves light lacing on the glass.
Aroma. Moderate to high intensity. Distinctive citrus-orange and grapefruit notes from Cascade and Cryo Cascade are backed by a resinous, spicy hint of Chinook. Supporting malt notes of fresh bread and biscuit are present alongside light fruity esters.
Taste. Initial impression of clean hop bitterness followed by a supportive bready malt core. Hop flavors of grapefruit and floral pine are prominent. Low to moderate fruity esters complement the hops. Bitterness is assertive but smooth, leading to a medium-dry, crisp finish. The balance favors the hops while retaining a noticeable bready malt character.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth texture. Moderate to high carbonation provides a crisp, refreshing sensation. Very low, well-integrated alcohol warmth without any hop-derived astringency.
