Antídote
Ale 6 º
Antídote presents as a soulful American Amber Ale, elevated by the integration of natural chestnut extracts which impart a rustic, earthy depth. The sensory journey is anchored by a robust, toasted malt backbone, delivering rich notes of caramel and biscuit that harmonize with the chestnut’s nutty sweetness. At 6% ABV, the beer maintains a sturdy structure where moderate hop bitterness provides a clean counterpoint to the malt-forward profile. Subtle floral and piney hop nuances emerge in the mid-palate, leading into a smooth, slightly woody finish that reflects both its French artisanal origin and its bold American stylistic framework.
Appearance. Deep copper to reddish-brown (15-17 SRM) with excellent clarity. It features a moderately large, creamy off-white head with good retention and delicate lacing on the glass.
Aroma. Moderate intensity with a dominant toasted malt character and distinct caramel sweetness. The chestnut addition contributes a unique nutty and earthy aroma, supported by low resinous and floral hop notes. Clean fermentation with no significant esters.
Taste. Initial impression is malty and sweet, showcasing flavors of toasted bread and rich caramel. The chestnut essence provides a savory, nutty complexity through the middle. Hop bitterness is moderate and well-balanced, preventing the beer from being cloying. Finishes medium-dry with a lingering toasted grain and earthy aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, almost creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate. A light, pleasant alcohol warmth is present, reflecting the 6% ABV, without any harshness or astringency.
