Mestral Citra
This American Pale Ale delivers a bright and approachable sensory experience centered on the vibrant character of Citra hops. The profile is defined by high-intensity citrus notes, specifically fresh grapefruit and lime zest, which are complemented by a subtle tropical fruit undertone. A lean, neutral malt backbone provides light grainy support, ensuring the hop aromatics remain the primary focus. Exceptionally fresh and smooth, the beer balances a crisp bitterness with a clean fermentation profile, resulting in a refreshing and highly drinkable character. The finish is notably dry and breezy, making it an ideal companion for light fare like seafood or salads.
Appearance. Pale golden to light amber in color (6-8 SRM). It features a moderately large, white head with good retention and fine lacing. The clarity is brilliant to clear.
Aroma. Moderate to high hop aroma with prominent citrus characteristics including grapefruit, lime, and lemon peel. Low neutral grainy maltiness supports the hop presentation. Fermentation is clean with virtually no esters or phenols.
Taste. Initial hop-forward impression of citrus and light tropical fruit. The malt flavor is low and neutral, providing a bready base. Hop bitterness is moderate and well-balanced against a lean malt profile. The fermentation character is clean, leading into a medium-dry finish where citrus hop flavors linger pleasantly without harshness.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with moderate to high carbonation that enhances the crisp, refreshing character. No alcohol warmth is perceived, and the finish is smooth and devoid of astringency.
