Maltman La Cañera is a balanced American IPA that expertly bridges the gap between structured malt and punchy hop character. At 5.5% ABV, it presents an inviting sensory profile defined by a vibrant citrus aroma—a hallmark of the American hops selected for this brew. The experience begins with a clean, grainy malt foundation that supports layers of grapefruit and lemon zest. The bitterness is firm yet refined, leading into a refreshing, dry finish. This classic take on the style prioritizes drinkability and aromatic intensity, offering a bright, resinous hop expression that remains grounded by a toasted malt backbone.
Appearance.Deep gold to pale amber color. Pours with a persistent, medium-sized off-white head that leaves delicate lacing. Good clarity with only a very faint chill haze possible.
Aroma.High hop intensity featuring prominent citrus notes of grapefruit and orange peel, backed by subtle pine and resin. Low clean, bready, and slightly grainy maltiness provides a neutral base. Fermentation is clean with no significant esters.
Taste.Hop-forward flavors of citrus zest and resinous pine dominate the palate. A medium-high bitterness is well-supported by a low, toasted, and grainy malt character. The balance favors the hops throughout, culminating in a crisp, medium-dry finish and a lingering, clean, bitter aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with a smooth, non-astringent texture. Moderate to high carbonation provides a lively, scrubbing sensation on the tongue. Alcohol warmth is very light and well-integrated.
