🌍 Argentina · Pale Lager · One of 62 Pale Lagers in hopIQ

Quilmes Doble Malta arrived in 2021 and is brewed only at the brewery in the town of Quilmes. It is an all-malt pale lager made with two malts from Buenos Aires province, Pilsen and Carapils, which give it a deeper colour, fuller body and longer-lasting head than Quilmes Clásica. The aroma is grainy and bready. On the palate cereal notes meet a light sweetness and a balancing bitterness, leading to a smooth finish.

Aroma

The nose is dominated by prominent grainy and bready characteristics, reflecting the two-malt bill of Pilsen and Carapils malts. Subtle cereal notes emerge alongside the malt-forward profile, with a clean, neutral yeast character that allows the malt to shine. The overall aromatic impression is inviting and straightforward, with minimal hop presence.

Taste

The palate opens with clean malt-driven sweetness that transitions into balanced cereal notes mid-palate, supported by the fuller body imparted by the Carapils. A restrained but present bitterness (16 IBU) provides structure and prevents the beer from becoming cloying. The malt sweetness and light bitterness work in harmony, leading seamlessly into the finish.
