Strong Ale 7.5 º 27 IBU

Greed Brewing Co.

Maja by Greed Brewing Co. is a robust American Strong Ale designed for cold weather, offering a complex interplay between rich malts and the distinctive Chilean influence of smoked Merkn. Deep caramel and toasty malt foundations support a firm bitterness, while the additions of Merkn introduce a subtle layer of earthy smoke and a faint, warming spice that complements the beer's 7.5% ABV. Piney and resinous hop notes intertwine with dark fruit esters and a hint of chocolate. The finish is bittersweet and lingering, balancing the bold American hop character against a savory, smoky depth that provides a comforting, hearth-like experience.

Appearance. Deep copper to light brown (14-18 SRM). Moderate, persistent light tan head with good lacing. Excellent clarity.

Aroma. High intensity with a bold malt profile of caramel, toffee, and toasted bread. Prominent piney and resinous hop aroma is accented by a distinctive earthy, smoky character from the Merkn. Subtle dark fruit esters and a hint of cocoa appear in the background.

Taste. Initial impression is rich caramel and dark fruit sweetness quickly met by a medium-high hop bitterness. Flavors of resinous hops and bready malt are layered with a savory, smoky chili note. The finish is bittersweet and moderately dry, with a lingering warmth and a touch of peppery spice.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Moderate carbonation provides a gentle lift. A noticeable, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, without any harsh astringency.
