Dark copper color. Funky aromas and flavors of chocolate yogurt, roasted corn, and grapefruit peel with a supple, crisp, finely carbonated, medium-to-full body and an eccentric, short-to-medium finish with accents of grilled radicchio, extra dark roasted coffee, molasses cake, and hints of wormwood. An earthy and astringent amber lager for the table.

Amber ales can be anywhere from light copper to light brown in color and typically range from 4.5-6.5% in alcohol. They are light-to-medium bodied and are quite malty but not heavily caramelized in flavor. This is a more modern, non-traditional style, and many of these beers borrow heavily from the characteristics associated with more classical styles such as pale ales or bitters. Many North American brewers are now producing ales under this designation. We also classify “red ales” in this category. Noteworthy examples of this style include: Full Sail Amber Ale, Rogue American Amber Ale and Stone Levitation Ale.
