A ja Pale Ale - American Pale Ale

After Browar Pinta from Poland was discovered by our beer scouts in 2017, the brewery became an exclusive Bierothek® brand and a think tank for a whole range of excellent beers The latest coup from Pinta is a so-called APA The abbreviation stands for American Pale Ales, a beer style that is becoming increasingly popular thanks to the spread of the craft beer movement

A ja is the Polish interpretation of an American Pale Ales and is brewed according to a recipe by Ziemowit Fałat With an alcohol content of 5.0%, the pasteurized, unfiltered beer is super tasty

A ja flows into the glass in a clear, golden amber hue and forms a small, white head A fruity potpourri rises from the thick, creamy foam into the nose Delicate citrus notes of lime and lemon meet tropical notes of peach, A hint of green hops completes the overall olfactory picture The first sip initially reveals a lovely sweetness The smooth malt base is joined after the first few sips by a wonderful hop bitterness that provides a clean, crisp contrast to the malt and the fruitiness of the hops A medium body and lively carbonation perfectly accentuate the balanced taste of the beer

A ja is a great APA that delights us with a good balance of sweet, tart and bitter
