Trautenberk APA 14°

Tap to rate

The palate starts out malty, then turns into an intense bitterness without astringency that lingers long in the finish. This deep golden, top-fermented American Pale Ale is brewed from three malts and four American hops and left unfiltered, at 14 degrees original gravity. An APA was already the brewery's first special, brewed at New Year, right after the very first brew, a Red Ale, at Christmas 2015.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with clean American hop character—citrus notes and subtle pine emerge without aggression. Beneath lies a solid Malz foundation from the three-malt grist, grounding the profile with gentle breadth. Yeast sits quietly in the background, allowing hops and grain to speak.

◐ Taste

The palate enters soft and malty, establishing a welcoming sweetness from the Malz backbone. This quickly yields to a pronounced, clean bitterness that builds steadily through the mid-palate without any harsh astringency. The four American hops layer in herbal and citrus notes that complement rather than overwhelm the dry finish.

◑ Finish

The bitterness persists long into the aftertaste with a crisp, refreshing character that invites the next sip. No astringency clouds the experience—just clean hop bite and a fading Malz sweetness.
