Guineu IPA Amarillo Extra
This Double IPA is an amplified showcase of the Amarillo hop, delivering an intense sensory experience that highlights the brewery’s focus on hop-forward intensity. Vivid aromas of sweet orange, floral zest, and ripe melon lead the profile, underpinned by a clean, neutral malt base that stays unobtrusive. The palate is defined by high bitterness and concentrated citrus oil flavors, transitioning into a dry, crisp finish characteristic of the style. Despite its 8.5% ABV, the beer maintains high drinkability with a smooth, well-integrated alcohol warmth. Expect a bright, fruit-forward character where the Amarillo variety dominates with signature notes of apricot and grapefruit pith.
Appearance. Deep gold to light copper (8-10 SRM). Good clarity with a minor chill haze. Topped by a persistent, off-white, creamy head that leaves dense lacing.
Aroma. Prominent hop intensity featuring distinct Amarillo traits: sweet orange marmalade, grapefruit, and floral perfume. Background malt is clean and grainy with minimal caramel. Light fruity esters complement the hops. No solventy alcohol notes.
Taste. Intensely hoppy from the start, dominated by orange, apricot, and lemon zest flavors. Bitterness is high and firm but lacks harshness. Soft, supportive malt provides a lean, toasted bread foundation. Finishes dry with a lingering resinous and citrusy aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly oily texture. Carbonation is moderate-high. A noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth is present without being hot. Low astringency.
