Libertas American Pale Ale 11

Tap to rate

A golden, top-fermented ale with an intense hop aroma from American hops, added in the kettle and again as cold hopping in the tank during maturation. The malt body is lower, the bitterness pleasant, and a balanced malt taste with caramel tones is completed by a citrus hop bitterness. Hopped with Cascade, Citra and Centennial; brewed year-round.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a crisp, refreshing bite of citrus hop character that carries through the mid-palate. Caramel and light malt sweetness provide structure and balance, while a clean, resinous bitterness builds gradually and finishes with pleasant dryness. The lower malt body allows the hop profile to shine without overwhelming.
