Áncora Arde Lupulus
Pale Ale 6 º
Crafted as a vibrant celebration of the Arde Lucus festival, this Galician Pale Ale offers an amplified sensory experience driven by its 'extra lupulada' nature. The profile is dominated by a bold American Pale Ale character, showcasing an assertive hop intensity. Bright waves of citrus zest and resinous pine surge forward, underpinned by a clean, neutral malt base that provides a subtle foundation of toasted biscuit. The interplay between the punchy bitterness and the crisp, refreshing finish makes it highly drinkable, embodying a modern, hop-forward interpretation that balances local Galician spirit with classic New World aromatic depth.
Appearance. Pale golden to light amber with excellent clarity. It supports a moderately large, creamy off-white head that exhibits persistent retention and leaves delicate lacing on the glass.
Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent notes of grapefruit, orange peel, and damp pine needles. A low, clean grainy-sweet maltiness provides a supportive backdrop with faint hints of toasted bread. Esters are low and neutral.
Taste. Initial impression is hop-forward with flavors of lemon zest and resin. A firm bitterness is well-integrated with a light biscuit and caramel malt character. The fermentation is clean, leading into a medium-dry finish where floral and citrus hop notes linger pleasantly without harshness.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light to medium body with a smooth texture. Carbonation is moderate to high, providing a crisp, refreshing prickle on the tongue. There is no discernible astringency.
