Alpha La Font del Bisbe is a characterful American Pale Ale that highlights a distinct toasted malt profile while maintaining a vibrant fruitiness. The beer presents a deep amber hue with a persistent off-white head. Aromatically, it offers a moderate intensity of stone fruit and citrus hops, grounded by a clean, bready malt base. On the palate, the toasted character manifests as bread crust and light biscuit, providing a sturdy foundation for the balanced fruity flavors. It finishes with a firm but clean bitterness, reflecting a harmonious marriage between the local Cortinada water and classic American brewing sensibilities.
