The Indie Ale is characterised by a clear amber colour and a very compact creamy head.It displays a surprising balance between the abundant hoppiness and the use of malts.
The citrusy notes, typical of the hops used, live side by side with the sweeter undertones of the malts and with the caramel sensations which slowly mix with fruity, tropical and citrusy taste given by the abundant hoppiness. The finish reveals a surprise bitter taste tending towards a very delicate herbal feeling, which is not at all intrusive and invites the drinker to take their lips straight back to the glass to enjoy another sip.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours a hazy amber with a dense and lacing white head - shaving foam style. Interesting, perfumy aroma - sort of bubblegumish. Medium bottle, low in carbonation, dry but never bitter. Lovely Amber, well crafted. 210917
