Etxeandia Long Jon is an English-style Pale Ale that delivers a classic, sessionable character with heightened intensity. A prominent aroma of earthy and floral English hops leads the sensory profile, grounded by a malty foundation of bready and biscuity notes. On the tongue, a medium-high bitterness takes center stage, balanced by a lightly toasty malt sweetness and subtle fruity esters from the British yeast. The experience concludes with a crisp, dry finish and a lingering resinous hop presence. This ale prioritizes drinkability while offering a robust sensory journey through traditional British ingredients and balanced craftsmanship.
