Dama Alaricana Queimada
This Ordinary Bitter presents a striking amber hue with reddish highlights, crowned by a dense, creamy white head. The aroma is defined by a complex malt backbone featuring Pale Ale, Caramel Lixeiro, Melanoidine, and Aromatic malt, yielding rich notes of toasted biscuit, cereal, and a curious hint of cognac. Despite its traditional inspiration, the use of Citra and Amarillo hops introduces a bright citrus character that balances the initial sweetness. The palate is slightly rustic with a dry, subtle bitterness that leads into a clean, short finish, expertly blending Spanish artisan flair with classic British structure.
Appearance. Amber to light copper with reddish highlights (10–14 SRM). Features a dense, white, creamy head with fine bubbles and good retention; clarity is brilliant.
Aroma. Moderate to high intensity malt aroma characterized by toasted bread, biscuit, and caramel notes from the Melanoidine and Aromatic malts. Hop character is moderate, offering citrus and floral notes from Citra and Amarillo. Subtle fruity esters and a unique, light spirit-like cognac note are present.
Taste. Initial malt sweetness of biscuit and light toffee is followed by a dry, subtle hop bitterness. Hop flavors of orange peel and grapefruit are evident but balanced. The finish is clean and short with a lingering citrusy aftertaste. Overall balance is slightly toward the malt, though it retains a dry, refreshing quality.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with a slight, rustic astringency. Carbonation is low to moderate, providing a smooth, creamy texture. A light alcohol warmth is perceptible given the 5.4% ABV, which is higher than typical for the style.
