Amber Ale 4.7 º 40 IBU

Lervig Aktiebryggeri

This American Amber Ale presents a vibrant interplay between its robust hop bill and foundational specialty grains. Simcoe and Chinook hops lead with a distinctively piney and citrusy resin, while Nelson Sauvin provides a sophisticated grape-like wine note in the finish. These hoppy layers are supported by a rich malt backbone featuring caramel and subtle chocolate malts, which add depth without overbearing sweetness. Though it carries a firm bitterness of 40 IBU, the balance remains focused on accessibility. The result is a nuanced profile where toasted grains meet bright orchard and forest fruits, delivering a clean and refreshing sensory experience.

Appearance. Deep copper-amber with reddish highlights and excellent clarity. Topped by a moderately large, persistent off-white head that leaves fine lacing.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity featuring prominent pine and grapefruit zest from Chinook and Simcoe, layered with a unique white-grape ester from Nelson Sauvin. This hop character is backed by a solid malty base of sweet caramel and a faint toasted chocolate note.

Taste. Initial caramel malt sweetness transitions into a layered hop profile of tropical fruit and resinous pine. A light chocolate roast provides contrast. Bitterness is moderate and clean, balancing the malt richness. The finish is medium-dry with a lingering vinous, gooseberry note and pleasant hop oils.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate to high, providing a crisp bite. Very low alcohol warmth consistent with its sessionable strength.
