American Pale Ale 5.5 º 30 IBU

Tenta Brewing Co

El Motín is a vibrant American Pale Ale that showcases a punchy modern hop profile. The aroma leads with an assertive bouquet of grapefruit and lime from Citra, complemented by the distinct orange and floral notes of Amarillo. As the beer opens up, Cashmere contributes complex layers of ripe melon and subtle peach. A foundation of neutral, bready malt provides a sturdy yet unobtrusive backbone, ensuring high drinkability. The palate follows the nose, delivering a bright citrus explosion and moderate bitterness that transitions into a clean, dry finish. It is a refreshing, hop-forward expression of the style with sophisticated fruit depth.

Appearance. Pale golden to light amber (approx. 6 SRM). Features a moderately large, creamy white head with good retention and delicate lacing. Clarity is generally clear with a very faint, modern hop-induced haze.

Aroma. Moderately high intensity, dominated by a diverse hop character. Pronounced notes of grapefruit, lemon zest, and tropical fruit from Citra mix with the sweet orange and floral aromatics of Amarillo. Cashmere adds an elegant layer of melon and stone fruit. Low bready malt and clean fermentation esters.

Taste. High hop flavor mirroring the aroma, with significant orange, grapefruit, and a hint of melon. Malt provides a light, toasty support without caramel interference. Bitterness is moderate and firm, balancing the fruitiness. The finish is crisp and dry with lingering citrus oils and a clean aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with moderate to high carbonation that enhances the crispness. Smooth texture with no astringency or harshness. Very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth consistent with its 5.5% ABV.
