Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Sierra Andina Quinua Pale Ale
◎ Appearance
Light golden hue with good transparency and a fine, white head that settles into a delicate collar. Carbonation is moderate and even throughout, with steady bubbles rising through the clear body. Schaumhaftung is modest but persistent, leaving thin traces of lacing.
◌ Aroma
The nose leads with bright citrus notes—grapefruit zest and orange peel—backed by subtle herbal hop character. Below the hops lies a gentle earthiness from the quinoa grain, adding an earthy minerality without dominating. Clean and straightforward, with no yeast esters or oxidation.
◐ Taste
Entry is crisp and refreshing, with the American hops delivering immediate citrus brightness. The mid-palate develops a creamy, slightly grainy body from the quinoa, which softens the bitterness and adds subtle umami depth. Moderate bitterness (38 IBU) sits in balance with clean Malz sweetness, finishing dry without harshness.
◑ Finish
The finish is clean and relatively short, with citrus and hop character fading smoothly into a dry, mineral aftertaste. The earthy quinoa note lingers gently without becoming astringent.
