Cotoya Toxu
American Pale Ale 5.2 º
This American Pale Ale highlights the unique character of 100% Asturian hops, blending the classic citrus and grapefruit notes of Cascade with the herbal depth of Nugget and the earthy, spicy undertones of Fuggles. It pours a clear golden-amber with a persistent off-white head. The aroma balances these regional hop characteristics against a clean, bready malt backbone. On the palate, a firm but smooth bitterness leads, followed by flavors of pine, soft resin, and a hint of spice. The finish is crisp and dry, making for a highly drinkable, hop-forward experience that showcases regional Spanish hop production.
Appearance. Pale golden to amber (SRM 6-9). Brilliant clarity with a moderately large, off-white head showing good retention and light lacing.
Aroma. Moderate to high hop aroma featuring citrusy grapefruit from Cascade, herbal resin from Nugget, and a distinct earthy, spicy quality from Fuggles. Low grainy-sweet maltiness provides a neutral base with faint hints of toasted bread; fermentation is clean with very low fruity esters.
Taste. Initial impression is hop-forward with moderate bitterness (~40 IBU) and flavors of citrus peel, pine, and wood. A supportive but restrained malt profile provides clean cracker or biscuit notes. The fermentation profile is clean, leading to a medium-dry, crisp finish where hop resin and earthiness linger pleasantly without harshness.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light to medium body with moderate to high carbonation that enhances the crisp finish. Overall smooth texture with a light, well-integrated alcohol warmth and no perceptible astringency.
