Mestral Riu
This American Amber Ale presents a consistent and robust sensory profile, defined by a sturdy malt backbone of toasted caramel and biscuity notes. The aroma is marked by moderate American hop characteristics, leaning towards resinous pine and a distinct spicy edge that prickles the palate. This spicy sensation integrates with a firm bitterness, balancing the initial malty sweetness. With its deep copper hues and moderate body, it offers a versatile profile that complements savory dishes like red meat. The finish is clean yet lingering, showcasing a harmonious interplay between sweet crystal malts and a peppery, citrusy hop zest.
