St-Ambroise Grapefruit IPA

◎ Aussehen

A hazy golden ale, unfiltered and bright with suspended yeast and hop matter. The head is modest but persistent, clinging to the glass with fine lacing as you drink. Carbonation is lively and visible throughout, typical of a well-conditioned IPA.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with fresh grapefruit zest and bitter pith, underpinned by a cohesive hop blend of Amarillo, Citra, Cascade, and Centennial. Orange peel and pine resins emerge in the mid-range, while a subtle caramel sweetness from the Malz provides balance and depth beneath the citric top notes.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with tart citrus and a clean, dry entry that immediately engages the taste buds. Mid-palate shows a medium body with light caramel malt character and pronounced hop bitterness layered with orange and pine. The grapefruit pith and zest create a slightly astringent, sharp edge that extends throughout, keeping the beer crisp and focused.

◑ Abgang

The finish is dry and sustained, with the pithy grapefruit bite persisting longest on the palate. A resinous, citric dryness lingers, leaving no residual sweetness.

Serviertemperatur 8–11°C für das beste Geschmacks- und Aromaprofil.

Die geschwungene Form konzentriert Hopfenaromen und hält den Schaum. Unverzichtbar für aromatische Ales und IPAs, bei denen die Nase die halbe Erfahrung ist.
