Candelaria Jora Ale Peruana
This Peruvian take on the American Amber Ale offers a uniquely cultural sensory journey, blending the caramel-forward maltiness of a traditional amber with the heritage of Chicha de Jora. Brewed with Jora corn and Guiñapo, it presents a deep coppery hue with a semi-filtered character. The aroma is defined by enticing, light notes of cinnamon and clove that dance over a base of toasted malt and subtle American hops. On the palate, a soft malty sweetness meets a restrained bitterness, allowing the spicy yeast and adjunct-driven flavors of the Andes to shine through a smooth, medium-full body.
Appearance. Deep amber to coppery-brown with a distinct reddish hue; semi-filtered with a slight haze. Topped by a moderately large, off-white head with decent retention.
Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring a clear caramel malt foundation supported by light, spicy accents of cinnamon and clove. Low hop aroma of floral and spicy New World varieties, with a subtle grainy sweetness from the Jora corn.
Taste. Initial malty sweetness with pronounced caramel and toasty notes. Distinct but delicate flavors of clove and cinnamon integrate with the grainy character of Guiñapo. Bitterness is low, noticeably below typical style levels, leading to a balanced, slightly sweet finish where spice and malt linger.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, creamy texture enhanced by the corn adjuncts. Carbonation is moderate, providing a gentle lift, with a very light alcohol warmth consistent with its 6.1% strength.
