Red IPA 7.5 º 60 IBU

Cervezas La Virgen

Luchador is a robust Double Red IPA that commands attention with its deep reddish hue and potent sensory profile. This Double Indian Red Ale strikes a fierce balance between an aggressive American hop character—bursting with resinous pine and sharp citrus—and a sturdy, toasted malt foundation. At 7.5% alcohol by volume, it offers a substantial presence where caramel and light toffee notes provide a necessary counterpoint to the high bitterness. Designed for the resilient spirit, its profile is defined by a clean fermentation that allows the interplay of specialty malts and bold hops to shine through to a lingering, bitter finish.

Appearance. Deep reddish-copper to mahogany color (11-17 SRM). Clear with a persistent, off-white to light tan head that leaves significant lacing on the glass.

Aroma. High hop intensity featuring prominent resinous, piney, and grapefruit-like citrus notes. Moderate malt aroma with distinct caramel and toasted bread accents. Low fruity esters and a clean fermentation profile.

Taste. Initial impression of assertive hop bitterness quickly joined by toasted malt and caramel sweetness. Hop flavors of citrus rind and pine needle are dominant. The medium-high bitterness is well-supported by a rich malt backbone. Finishes off-dry with a long-lasting, clean bitterness and a hint of toasted grain in the aftertaste.

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