XaBier’s L’Andragó
American Pale Ale 5.5 º
XaBier’s L’Andragó is a vibrant American Pale Ale that bridges the gap between classic toasty foundations and modern hop intensity. It presents an inviting sensory profile defined by a distinct citrus zest that pierces through a supportive, sweet-edged malt backbone. The toasted malt character provides a rustic depth, balancing the bright, resinous hop notes typical of the style. At 5.5% ABV, it maintains high drinkability while offering a robust flavor profile where the sweetness of the grain meets a firm, clean bitterness. The experience concludes with a lingering citrus brightness and a crisp, dry finish.
Appearance. Deep amber color (9 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Pours with a moderately large, off-white head that demonstrates good retention and leaves light lacing on the glass.
Aroma. Moderate to high hop aroma featuring prominent grapefruit and lemon zest. A solid malt presence offers notes of toasted bread and light caramel sweetness. Clean fermentation profile with negligible yeast esters.
Taste. Initial toasted malt sweetness quickly gives way to a firm hop bitterness. Flavors of orange peel and pine resins are evident. The mid-palate shows a balance of bready malt and citrus. Finishes moderately dry with a clean, lingering hop-driven aftertaste that avoids harshness.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with moderate carbonation providing a lively feel. Smooth texture across the palate with no astringency and a very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth.
