American Brown Ale 5.5 º

Microbrasserie Le Castor

This American Brown Ale pays homage to West Coast classics, balancing a robust malt backbone with a vibrant modern hop profile. Deep mahogany hues and a creamy tan head precede a complex bouquet where rich chocolate and caramel malts meet the punchy, resinous notes of Simcoe. Bright layers of citrus from Citra and tropical fruit nuances from El Dorado elevate the sensory experience, providing a contemporary edge to the traditional toasty and nutty base. The palate is defined by a firm bitterness that cleanses the rich malt sweetness, resulting in a balanced, medium-bodied finish that highlights both hop character and dark grain complexity.

Appearance. Deep mahogany to dark brown with excellent clarity. It supports a persistent, creamy, light tan head with moderate lacing.

Aroma. Moderate to high hop intensity featuring notes of citrus, pine, and tropical fruit. This is well-supported by a malty-rich backbone of caramel, toasted nuts, and milk chocolate. Fruity esters are low, and there is no burnt or roasted character.

Taste. Initial malty-rich flavors of chocolate and caramel are quickly met by a medium-high bitterness. Hop flavors of grapefruit and resin are prominent, reflecting the New World hop selection. The balance is quite even between malt and hops, finishing medium-dry with a lingering toasty and hoppy aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth texture and moderate to moderately-high carbonation. The finish has a light resinous dryness, and at 5.5% ABV, there is only a very subtle, integrated warmth.
