Paul Amber Ale

Tap to rate

Toasted malt, bread, biscuit, light nuts and soft toffee lead, with a rounded body that does not feel heavy and toffee that never turns the beer sweet. Classic hops from León add a noble, clean bitterness that closes the sip. The name honours Paul, who joined the brewers' family as a puppy nobody wanted and had exactly this warm amber colour; his black brother Diego is the reference behind dark specials such as La Lágrima Negra.

◐ Taste

Entry reveals biscuit and malt sweetness that develops into a rounded, full-bodied mid-palate without heaviness. Toffee notes emerge and persist without veering into cloying territory, while light hazelnut character adds complexity. The finish is anchored by a clean, noble bitterness from the León hops that closes the sip with clarity and restraint.
