American Pale Ale 5.5 º

Evil Twin Brewing
Naparbier

El Raval Hipster Ale is an avant-garde American Pale Ale that captures the vibrant, streetwise spirit of Barcelona’s El Raval district. This blonde-hued ale pours with brilliant clarity and a persistent white head, releasing an expressive hop bouquet of zesty grapefruit, resinous pine, and delicate floral notes. Eschewing the simplicity of a single-hop showcase, it utilizes a complex blend of American hops to achieve a sophisticated, layered profile. The 5.5% ABV provides a clean, supportive malt base of light biscuit and grain, leading to a firm bitterness and a crisp, dry finish that remains exceptionally drinkable and balanced.

Appearance. Pale golden color with brilliant clarity. Features a moderately large, white, creamy head with good retention and delicate lacing.

Aroma. Moderate-to-high intensity hop aroma featuring bright notes of grapefruit, lemon peel, and a touch of floral resin. Low, neutral grainy maltiness provides a clean background with hints of fresh-baked bread.

Taste. The initial impression is hop-forward with flavors of citrus zest and pine needles. A moderate bitterness provides structure against a light, crackery malt backbone. Fermentation is clean with very low fruity esters. The finish is medium-dry and crisp, leaving a lingering, clean hop character.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with moderate to high carbonation that enhances the crispness. Smooth texture with no alcohol warmth or hop-derived astringency.
