Extra-Strong Bitter 6 º 35 IBU

Cervejaria Araucária

This award-winning Strong Bitter showcases a sophisticated harmony between rich malt complexity and traditional hop character. The sensory profile is defined by indulgent toffee and caramel malt notes, which provide a sturdy, bready backbone for the assertive herbal hop presence. As a decorated example of the style, it delivers a classic British experience where the toasted sweetness of the specialty malts is expertly countered by a firm, clean bitterness. Subtle fruity esters add a layer of complexity, while the well-integrated alcohol ensures a smooth, satisfying finish that emphasizes the beer's balance and technical pedigree.

Appearance. Deep copper to amber in color with brilliant clarity. Pours with a moderate, off-white head that shows good retention and leaves light lacing on the glass.

Aroma. Moderate to high aroma intensity featuring prominent caramel and toffee malt sweetness. Complemented by a moderate herbal hop character and light fruity esters reminiscent of dried orchard fruit. Clean fermentation profile with no diacetyl.

Taste. Initial malt impression of toasted bread and rich toffee, followed by a moderate to high hop bitterness. The flavor profile balances the sweetness of caramel malts with a distinct herbal hop quality. Secondary notes of light plum or pear esters emerge mid-palate. Finishes medium-dry with a lingering, pleasant bitterness and a touch of residual malt warmth.

Mouthfeel. Medium-bodied with moderate carbonation. Provides a smooth texture on the palate with a very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth consistent with its strength. No detectable astringency.
