NaparBCN Sun & Shade
This modern interpretation of a German Pils delivers a bright, refreshing profile that bridges traditional European lager crispness with American hop intensity. The foundational doughy and crackery malt notes provide a lean backdrop for the punchy aromatics of Citra and Cascade hops. Expect a vibrant sensory experience where classic herbal nuances are elevated by New World layers of grapefruit zest, lime, and subtle floral notes. The beer pours with brilliant clarity, leading into a sharp, dry finish where a firm bitterness cleanses the palate, making it an exceptionally drinkable lager designed for warm Barcelona afternoons.
Appearance. Brilliant straw to pale gold (3 SRM). Pours with a dense, persistent white head that leaves delicate lacing on the glass.
Aroma. Moderately high aroma intensity driven by a citrus-forward hop profile of grapefruit and lime from Citra and Cascade. Underlying the hop punch is a clean, grainy-sweet malt scent reminiscent of fresh crackers. The fermentation is exceptionally clean, with a subtle flinty minerality.
Taste. The initial impression is a crisp, grainy malt sweetness rapidly overtaken by a firm hop bitterness. Flavors of citrus zest and light resin dominate the mid-palate, supported by a clean, doughy malt backbone. The finish is remarkably dry and crisp, with a lingering, clean bitterness and a faint touch of mineral sharpness.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a crisp, refreshing mouthfeel. Carbonation is moderate to high, providing a lively prickle on the tongue. No alcohol warmth is present, and the texture is clean without astringency.
