Strong Ale 6 º 40 IBU

VG Noster

This artisanal American Amber Ale presents a robust sensory profile defined by its natural, unfiltered character. A foundation of caramel-driven malts provides a rich, toasty sweetness that balances a firm, resinous hop bitterness. The bottle-conditioning process integrates a lively carbonation, enhancing the aromatic lift of citrus and pine notes common to New World hops. At 6% alcohol, it offers a gentle, well-integrated warmth that complements the medium-bodied texture. The lack of pasteurization preserves a fresh, vibrant mouthfeel, resulting in a complex yet drinkable harmony of bready malt depth and crisp, lingering hop personality.

Appearance. Deep copper to reddish-amber (14-17 SRM); large, persistent off-white head with fine lacing; slight haze due to being unfiltered and bottle-conditioned.

Aroma. Moderate intensity; prominent caramel and toasted bread malt notes; secondary aromas of citrus peel and piney hops; very low fruity esters and no diacetyl.

Taste. Initial malty sweetness featuring rich caramel and biscuity notes; transitions into a moderate hop flavor of grapefruit and resin; firm bitterness provides a balanced, off-dry finish with a lingering toasted grain aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium to medium-full body; high carbonation providing a crisp, effervescent sting; smooth texture with a light, clean alcohol warmth; no astringency.
