Hordago Alicornio
American Pale Ale 5.5 º
This American Pale Ale presents an approachable yet characterful profile designed for accessibility. A careful blend of barley malts provides a clean, toasty foundation that supports a vibrant bouquet from three distinct hop varieties. The addition of cilantro introduces a unique, light herbal spice that intertwines with classic citrus and floral hop notes. Effervescent and refreshing, it balances a moderate bitterness with a supportive grain sweetness. The result is a highly drinkable craft beer that serves as an ideal introduction to the style, offering a crisp finish and a harmonious interplay between traditional hops and botanical accents.
Appearance. Deep gold to light amber (approx. 7-9 SRM). Pours with a moderately large, off-white head that demonstrates good retention and leaves light lacing. Generally clear with brilliant clarity.
Aroma. Moderate-high intensity featuring citrus and pine hop character. A subtle, herbal, and slightly peppery note from the cilantro is evident, complementing the hops. Low, neutral to bready maltiness provides a steady background. Clean fermentation with very low fruity esters.
Taste. Initial impression of crisp grain and bright hops. A medium-high hop bitterness is well-balanced by a light caramel and toasted bread malt profile. The cilantro adds a delicate, spicy-herbal dimension in the mid-palate. Finishes dry to medium-dry with a lingering but clean bitterness and a faint citrus aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light to medium body with a smooth texture. Carbonation is moderate to high, providing a refreshing prickle on the tongue. Alcohol warmth is negligible and well-integrated at 5.5% ABV.
