Sierra Andina Chicha Morada Ale

◎ Appearance

Deep purple hue dominates the glass, characteristic of chicha morada's natural pigmentation. The beer presents good clarity with moderate carbonation visible as fine bubbles; a modest white head forms and holds modest Schaumhaftung. The color sits between ruby and violet, catching light with an almost translucent quality at the edges.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent dark berry and stone fruit character from the chicha morada base, immediately rounded by warming spice—cinnamon and clove assert themselves without harshness. A subtle floral undertone emerges beneath the spice, while the Malz foundation remains light and clean, allowing the fruit and spice to dominate.

◐ Taste

Entry presents juicy fruit sweetness balanced by restrained spice warmth; mid-palate sustains the dark fruit character with clove and cinnamon lingering through without bitterness. The low IBU allows the fruity, spiced character to remain front-and-center, while subtle Malz sweetness provides body and smoothness. The ale frame is clean and light, letting the Andean ingredients shine.

◑ Finish

A clean, erfrischend fade with lingering clove and cinnamon notes that persist gently into the aftertaste. The finish remains relatively short but leaves a pleasant warm spice impression and fruit sweetness on the palate.
