Cervecería Nómada Americana presents a bold, modern interpretation of the American Pale Ale, pushing the boundaries of the style with its 60 IBU profile. This golden-hued ale offers an intense sensory experience driven by a heavy dry-hop addition, resulting in a vibrant bouquet of tropical fruits, bright citrus, and a pungent, resinous pine character. A distinctively dank and herbal undertone adds complexity to the aroma. On the palate, the hop-forward intensity is supported by a lean, neutral malt backbone, finishing remarkably dry and crisp. The 6.2% ABV provides a structural weight that carries the aggressive bitterness into a clean, lingering finish.
Appearance.Pale golden (approx. 6 SRM) with a slight haze resulting from significant dry-hopping. It supports a moderately large, off-white head with good retention and light lacing.
Aroma.High intensity hop aroma dominated by tropical fruit (mango, passion fruit) and citrus zest. These are complemented by a strong resinous pine and a characteristic dank, herbal note. Malt is low and neutral, providing a faint grainy background with no significant caramel.
Taste.Initial hop-forward impact of grapefruit peel and tropical fruit. The malt flavor is low, suggesting neutral pale malts with a hint of cracker. Bitterness is firm and high for the style (60 IBUs), but remains clean and well-integrated. Fermentation is very clean with a dry, crisp finish and a lingering resinous aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with moderate to high carbonation. Despite the high bitterness and 6.2% alcohol, it remains smooth on the palate with a very subtle, well-integrated warmth and no hop-derived astringency.
