Amber Ale 6.8 º

Cervezas el Oso y el Cuervo

This American Amber Ale presents a vibrant sensory profile defined by its use of Mandarina Bavaria hops. It pours a deep coppery-amber, releasing an aromatic bouquet of tangerine and sweet citrus zest layered over a foundation of toasted bread and caramel. On the palate, the 'Vendetta de Malta' heritage is evident through a robust, malty sweetness that transitions into a firm, clean bitterness. Despite the slightly elevated strength, the beer maintains a harmonious balance where the orange-like fruitiness complements the toasted malt character. It finishes medium-dry with a lingering interplay of citrus peel and lightly scorched sugar.

Appearance. Deep copper to reddish-amber in color with excellent clarity. It features a moderately large, off-white head with good retention and light lacing.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity hop aroma featuring prominent tangerine, orange, and light floral notes. The malt character is moderately-high, presenting as rich caramel and toasted crust that supports the hop-forward profile.

Taste. Initial malty sweetness with strong caramel and biscuit flavors. The hop flavor is moderate-high, showcasing citrus oil and tangerine. Moderate to moderately-high bitterness provides a clean counterpoint to the malt. The finish is medium-dry with lingering hop resin and caramel notes.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate. A light, pleasant alcohol warmth is noticeable due to the 6.8% ABV, yet it remains without astringency.
