Guineau Riner - 3% ABV Pale Ale / IPA






Ca l’Arenys - Cervezas Guineu Riner...$3.99 /11.2oz
Low alcohol 2.5% - 3%
Lemon yellow in color and clear (if served carefully so as not stir up the sediment). Abundant and sturdy clean white head. Plenty of fine bubble carbonation. Strong citrus fruit nose, especially of grapefruit and white grape. Subtle undertones, of white flower and spice (vanilla), give way to lactic notes and hints of moist earth.
On the tongue the notable sweetness is infused with a pronounced and persistant bitterness. The fresh citric feel is enhanced by a distinct tartness. The mouthfeel is smooth and foamy. This beer stimulates salivation, and so is a fine appetite enhancer: excellent as a pre-dinner drink or aperitif. The aftertaste lingers on for an extraordinary time. The lasting dry bitterness is balanced with a lingering aroma of licorice stick and fresh fruit (grapefruit and white grape).
