Very dry and assertively bitter.
The malt sets the frame and lets the hops carry the flavour.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Invasión
◎ Appearance
Invasión presents a bright golden hue with excellent clarity and fine carbonation visible throughout. The head rises firmly and maintains good retention and lacing, clinging to the glass in delicate strands as you drink. Light catches the beer with a warm, inviting luminosity.
◌ Aroma
The nose leads with a confident citrus and resin character—orange zest and pine needles dominate, backed by a subtle malty sweetness that grounds the composition. Noble hop aromatics sit elegantly atop a gentle grain foundation, creating complexity without excess. The alcohol warmth sits discreetly in the background.
◐ Taste
Entry is full and hoppy, with immediate citrus brightness giving way to a pronounced dry bitterness that builds through the mid-palate. Underlying malt sweetness emerges as a soft counterbalance, though never dominates. The 8.1% alcohol provides gentle warmth and body without harshness.
◑ Finish
The finish is long and warming, with lingering bitterness and resinous notes fading gradually into a clean, drying aftertaste. Alcohol warmth persists pleasantly without becoming aggressive.
