American Barleywine 9.5 º 45 IBU

Cerveza Quimera

Quimera’s American Barleywine from the artistic “Q” line delivers a bold, contemplative sensory journey. At 9.5% ABV, it strikes a deliberate balance between a robust, bready malt foundation and assertive American hop character. Deep copper liquid releases a high-intensity aroma of resinous pine and citrus, layered over toasty caramel notes. The palate is defined by a chewy, luscious mouthfeel where aggressive bitterness meets a rich, malty sweetness. Subtle fruity esters emerge mid-sip, leading to a smooth, lingering alcohol warmth. This complex ale captures the vibrant spirit of its label artist, Totoy Zamudio, through its intricate, full-bodied profile.

Appearance. Deep amber to medium copper with brilliant clarity and distinct ruby highlights. Pours with a moderately-low, off-white head that leaves light lacing and visible legs on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity featuring assertive resinous and citrusy hop notes. The malt backbone provides a rich, grainy, and toasty character with light caramel sweetness. Low to moderate fruity esters and a noticeable but smooth alcohol presence.

Taste. A complex interplay of moderately strong, bready malt sweetness and aggressive hop bitterness. Flavors of citrus peel and pine resin dominate the mid-palate, supported by toasty malt richness. The finish is full and slightly dry with a lingering, clean bitterness and a warming alcohol aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and chewy with a velvety, luscious texture. Carbonation is moderate-low, contributing to a smooth delivery. A distinct but non-burning alcohol warmth is present throughout.
