American Amber Ale 6.9 º 23 IBU

La Dunoise

This robust American Amber Ale pours a striking deep copper, immediately releasing a fragrant bouquet of rich caramel and toasted malt. Distinctive notes of red fruit weave through the aroma, likely derived from a combination of specialty crystal malts and estery fermentation. On the palate, a bold malty sweetness reminiscent of toffee and toasted bread crust is balanced by a firm, resinous hop bitterness that lingers into a clean finish. At 6.9% ABV, it carries a pleasant, well-integrated warmth that enhances the medium-full body, offering a complex yet approachable profile that celebrates the interplay between sweet malt and assertive New World hops.

Appearance. Deep copper to coppery-brown with a distinct reddish hue (14-17 SRM). Topped by a moderately large, off-white head with good retention and light lacing; generally clear.

Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring a rich caramel malt character and toasted bread crust. Notable red fruit esters are present, complemented by low to moderate citrusy and resinous hop notes.

Taste. Initial malty sweetness gives way to pronounced caramel and toffee flavors. The mid-palate reveals red fruit character and light toasty notes, balanced by a moderate to moderately-high bitterness. The finish is medium-full and slightly dry, with lingering caramel sweetness and a resinous hop aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate to high. A subtle, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, without any harshness or astringency.
