Sinergia is a stately English IPA crafted to celebrate a decade of tradition, balancing a noble malt profile with assertive hop character. The sensory experience is defined by a bready, biscuity malt backbone accented by rich caramel and toasted notes. These deep malt flavors are elegantly countered by the medium-high bitterness of Chinook hops, which contribute a characteristic spicy and piney edge. At 6% ABV, the beer offers a smooth, well-attenuated profile that remains highly drinkable. The interplay between the toasted sweetness and the firm, friendly bitterness creates a harmonious, lingering finish typical of the classic British style, reflecting a sophisticated and balanced brewer's intent.
Appearance.Deep amber in color (12 SRM) with excellent clarity. It features a moderate-sized, persistent off-white head that leaves consistent lacing on the glass.
Aroma.Moderate to high hop aroma with distinct spicy, resinous, and lightly citrus notes from the Chinook. The malt presence is medium, offering scents of toasted bread and biscuit with a light caramel sweetness and low fruity esters.
Taste.The initial impression is a balance of bready malt and firm hop bitterness. Medium-low caramel and toffee flavors support a medium-high hop flavor that is herbal and spicy. The bitterness is assertive but smooth, leading into a medium-dry finish where the spicy hop character and light toasted malt linger pleasantly without harshness.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a smooth texture. Carbonation is moderate-high, providing a crispness that enhances the dry finish. A low, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, and there is no hop-derived astringency.
