American Pale Ale 5.4 º 35 IBU

Moritz

Moritz La Patrona is a vibrant, unpasteurized American Pale Ale that bridges tradition and experimentation. The grist, featuring extra pale, Melanoidin, Carared, and Carafa malts, provides a golden-amber foundation for a complex hop profile. While Citra and Simcoe offer citrus and tropical fruit, the experimental HBC472 hop introduces distinct, savory notes of wood, coconut, and vanilla. Nugget and Saaz provide a subtle herbal counterpoint. The palate delivers a firm 35 IBU bitterness that is harmoniously balanced by a sweet, bready malt background, resulting in a fresh and exceptionally drinkable craft experience with a smooth, lingering finish.

Appearance. Golden with amber hues (7-9 SRM). Large, white, fluffy head with excellent retention and lacing. Clear to slightly hazy due to being unpasteurized.

Aroma. Moderate-high hop intensity. Forward notes of coconut, vanilla, and cedar-like woodiness from HBC472. Bright citrus and tropical fruit esters from Citra and Simcoe. Low bready, toasty malt character from Melanoidin and extra pale malts. Clean fermentation profile.

Taste. Marked hop bitterness (35 IBU) that persists into the finish. Flavors of citrus peel and resin are joined by the unique woody, coconut character of the experimental HBC472 hop. A supportive malt sweetness from Carared and Melanoidin provides balance. Neutral finish with a slight herbal hint from Saaz.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, creamy texture. Moderate to high carbonation. Very low alcohol warmth, well-integrated and refreshing.
