American Pale Ale 5.5 º 35 IBU

Ctretze Pirineus

Ctretze Mr. Owl presents a quintessential mountain-influenced American Pale Ale, balancing refreshing hop brightness with a crisp, structured finish. The sensory experience is led by a vibrant bouquet of citrus zest and fresh pine needles, underscored by a delicate floral note. A supportive base of neutral pale malt provides a clean, bready foundation with subtle hints of toasted biscuit, ensuring the bitterness remains firm but accessible. Its moderate carbonation and medium-light body enhance the drinkability, leading to a clean, off-dry finish where lingering resinous hop oils and soft fruity esters provide a satisfying, well-rounded character perfect for the Pyrenees terroir.

Appearance. Pours a clear, pale golden to light amber color with a moderately large, off-white head that demonstrates good retention and fine lacing.

Aroma. Moderate to high hop aroma characterized by notes of grapefruit, lemon zest, and resinous pine. A low, neutral grainy maltiness supports the hop profile with faint bread crust and toast. Clean fermentation with very low pear-like esters.

Taste. Initial impression is hop-forward with flavors of citrus and spice. The malt flavor is supportive and lightly bready, avoiding heavy caramel. Bitterness is moderate to high but well-integrated. The finish is medium-dry and clean, leaving a lingering but smooth hop character without harshness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light to medium body with moderate-high carbonation that provides a refreshing, crisp sensation. Smooth overall texture with no noticeable alcohol warmth or astringency.
