Red Ale 5.5 º 25 IBU

Sant Jordi

This American Amber Ale presents a striking amber-reddish hue, driven by a complex grain bill of Pale Ale, Carared, and Melanoidin malts. The Special B malt contributes deep caramel and dark fruit undertones, providing a robust backbone for the vibrant hop profile. Expect a bright citrus presence from the classic American trio of Cascade and Centennial, while Columbus adds a subtle resinous depth. The addition of barley flakes ensures a smooth, rounded mouthfeel that carries the moderate bitterness through a clean finish. It is a well-balanced ale where malty sweetness and zesty hops harmonize perfectly, offering a refreshing yet substantial experience.

Appearance. Deep amber to reddish-copper (approximately 14 SRM). Features a moderately large, off-white head with good retention and light lacing. Generally clear.

Aroma. Moderate intensity with a balanced profile of citrusy hops (grapefruit and orange) and rich caramel maltiness. Toasted, bready notes from Melanoidin malt are evident, accompanied by low floral esters and a faint resinous undertone.

Taste. Initial impression of malty caramel sweetness, specifically featuring the raisin and dark sugar notes of Special B. This is quickly balanced by moderate bitterness and citrusy hop flavors. No roasted or burnt characters are present. The finish is medium-dry with a lingering interplay of caramel and zesty hops.

Mouthfeel. Medium to medium-full body with a slight creaminess provided by the addition of barley flakes. Moderate carbonation and very low alcohol warmth. Smooth finish without any harshness or astringency.
