Gracia Alba
Gracia Alba is a refreshing Summer Ale interpretation of the Ordinary Bitter style, distinguished by its bronze medal pedigree. This session-strength ale balances a delicate malt foundation of light caramel and toasted bread with a bright, citrus-forward hop character. Despite its slightly higher gravity than classic examples, it remains remarkably drinkable, weaving subtle fermentation esters into a clean, medium-bodied profile. The interplay between the soft caramel sweetness and the crisp, citrusy finish makes it an exceptionally balanced beer, designed for high drinkability while providing enough complexity to complement spicy cuisines and fresh seafood.
Appearance. 8-12 SRM. Light copper to pale amber with brilliant clarity. Features a low to moderate off-white head with light lacing.
Aroma. Moderate intensity with a malt-forward base of bread and light caramel. Pronounced citrus hop notes are present, accompanied by mild fruity esters and a clean fermentation profile without diacetyl.
Taste. Initial malt flavors of toasted bread and light toffee transition into a medium bitterness. Hop flavors are decidedly citrusy and slightly earthy. It possesses a balanced character that leans toward a dry, clean finish with a short, refreshing aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium body, providing more substance than typical examples of the style. Moderate carbonation with no perceived alcohol warmth and a smooth, non-astringent texture.
