Das “Urban Ale” ist ein West Coast IPA.
Damit ist es ein klassischer Vertreter der ersten Craft-Beer Welle überhaupt.
Charakteristisch für diesen Bierstil sind:
Trocken und nicht zu süß, sehr hopfig und eine knackige Bittere.
Ausserdem ist dieses Bier relativ klar und nicht wie seine jüngeren Artverwandten “hazy”.

Der Hopfencharakter wird durch die Hopfensorten Citra und Polaris gebildet, wobei Citra in großen Mengen im Bereich Whirpool und Dryhopping voll zur Geltung kommt.

Das Biscuitmalz sorgt dabei noch für eine dezente Malznote.

0.33 l bottle from 'Bierothek' (Dortmund), best before January 2024. Hazy, orangeish amber with a large, frothy, stable, white head. Sweetish, rather fruity, gently resiny and a bit floral aroma of passion fruit, orange, grains and some pine. Gently sweet, moderately bitter, quite fruity, slightly floral and a bit resiny taste of passion fruit, grains, pineapple, caramel and grapefruit, followed by a short, quite bitter finish. Medium body, smooth and quite effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Decent IPA, quite bitter and harsh but somewhat unround.

330ml bottle. Minimally milky, orange, dark golden to amber colour with average to huge, frothy, moderately lasting and lacing, white head. Citrusy fruity and minimally herbal hoppy as well as minimally bready, pale malty aroma, hints of lemon, lemon tea, a touch of menthol, whiffs of white bread crust. Taste is minimally bready, pale malty, slightly citrusy fruity and minimally herbal hoppy, hints of lemon, a touch of menthol, woodruff, some white bread crust, a papery touch as well. Watery texture, slightly dry palate, medium, dense, foamy, mildly prickly carbonation. Fairly refreshing, too light body, slight imbalance (and West Coast style aberrance) due to the Polaris - so-so.
