Ambar Doble IPA

Tap to rate

Ambar Doble IPA is the brewery's double IPA, built on a complex mixed mash and a cold infusion of traditional hops. The hop bill names the classic Mittelfrüh alongside Cascade, Simcoe and Ekuanot, while the barley malts bring a powerful body and orange tones that show a certain opalescence in the light.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Ambar Doble IPA

◎ Appearance

Deep golden amber with a pronounced opalescent quality when held to light. The head forms dense and persistent, maintaining excellent lacing down the glass. Carbonation presents as fine and well-integrated, creating a refined visual presentation throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with assertive noble-hop character from Mittelfrüh, layered with bright citrus and stone fruit notes from Cascade and Ekuanot. Beneath the hop-forward aromatics, a subtle orange peel quality emerges, complemented by the malt base which contributes warm, grainy undertones without dominating the composition.

◐ Taste

Entry is full-bodied and hop-driven, with a complex interplay of noble-hop bitterness and citrus-forward fruity notes. Mid-palate reveals the malty backbone—a robust grain sweetness with orange tones that provide balance rather than sweetness. The bitterness integrates cleanly, building gradually through the palate without harshness.

◑ Finish

The finish lingers with a dry, hop-driven character and a persistent but pleasant bitterness that evolves into a subtle orange note. The malty support fades gracefully, leaving a clean, refreshing aftertaste.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
