American Amber Ale 5 º

Volcanes del Sur

Volcanes del Sur Amber Ale offers a layered sensory experience characteristic of a classic American Amber Ale. The extensive malt bill, featuring Red X and Caramelo 120, 150, and 240, establishes a robust foundation of toffee and rich caramel. Nuanced additions of Roasted Barley, Coffee, and Chocolate malts provide a subtle toasted depth that complements the initial sweetness. This malt complexity is brightened by the citrus and floral contributions of Cascade and Citra hops, while Willamette adds a delicate herbal counterpoint. Refreshing and balanced, the beer transitions from a sweet opening to a clean finish with a lingering, moderate bitterness.

Appearance. Deep reddish-amber to copper in color (approximately 15 SRM). It presents with a moderately large, creamy off-white head that exhibits good retention and leaves light lacing. Clarity is clear to brilliant.

Aroma. Moderate intensity with a dominant malt character of caramel and toffee. Subtle toasted notes and a faint hint of coffee are detectable. The hop aroma is moderate-low, featuring citrus zest and floral notes from the Cascade and Citra, alongside a light earthy spice from the Willamette. Fermentation is clean with very low fruity esters.

Taste. Initial malty sweetness gives way to pronounced flavors of caramel, toffee, and toasted bread. Hop flavor is moderate, showcasing grapefruit and floral highlights. Bitterness is medium-high but well-integrated, balancing the rich malt profile. The finish is medium-full and smooth, with a lingering aftertaste of dark caramel and a touch of roasted grain.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a refreshing mouthfeel. Alcohol warmth is very low and well-integrated, with no perceived astringency.
