Style: Extra Pale Ale
ABV: 5,3%
Hops: Cashmere, Citra, Strata Cryo
Swami’s is an Extra Pale Ale with a clean drinkability and a subtle character, brewed with lager, extra pale, wheat, Carapils and Carahell malts. They build a light base with just the right touch of softness and roundness.
On the nose, it opens up with fresh fruit notes: raspberry, cantaloupe, ripe pineapple and a hint of mandarin peel. Bright and lively, without being overworked.
On the palate it’s easygoing and refreshing, with a crisp, clean flow from start to finish. The bitterness is present but fine and firm, leading to a properly dry finish that naturally pulls you in for another sip.
