Synera American Pale Ale is a vibrant homage to the Mediterranean coast, offering a refreshing sensory journey designed to quench a mariner's thirst. The aromatic profile is led by the bright, citrusy punch of Citra hops and the floral, tropical depth of Galaxy, delivering distinct notes of mango and passion fruit. A sturdy base of Pale and Crystal malts provides a golden hue and a subtle caramel backbone, while the addition of oat flakes lends a smooth, inviting texture. This American Pale Ale balances moderate bitterness with a clean, tropical finish, capturing the essence of Arenys de Mar in every crisp, well-rounded sip.
