Jai Alai Double

◎ Aussehen

Golden amber hue with a light copper glow, characteristic of the 9 SRM specification. The beer displays excellent clarity with a full, persistent head that clings to the glass with fine lacing. Carbonation is brisk and well-integrated, supporting the visual presentation throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with a vibrant citrus bouquet dominated by Valencia orange and Meyer lemon, layered with grapefruit and subtle marmalade sweetness. Beneath this fruit-forward profile, caramel and toasted malt provide a warm, honeyed foundation that prevents the hops from becoming sharp. A whisper of alcohol warmth emerges as the beer opens, underlining the 10% ABV without dominating.

◐ Geschmack

Entry presents bright citrus and stone fruit character that quickly fills the mid-palate with marmalade sweetness balanced by assertive bitterness. The malt backbone—caramel and toasted grain—provides substance and prevents the beer from tasting thin despite its hop focus. Bitterness builds steadily through the mid-palate, reaching approximately 80 IBU, while alcohol warmth integrates smoothly rather than harshly.

◑ Abgang

Medium-length finish with lingering grapefruit pith and a dry, herbal bitterness that gradually fades. Residual caramel sweetness remains subtle enough to avoid cloying.
