Commercial Description:
Darker versions of pale ale are sometimes referred to as Amber Ales, or even more vaguely, just “Amber.” To some extent, “Amber Ale” is a catchall term and therefore is difficult to pin down. You can expect Amber Ales to be copper colored and to show more caramel malt flavor than paler beers. They are some times fuller-bodied and can be fairly fruity. Almost all will show case some citrusy or earthy hop character. Amber Ales are dry with a medium body supported by lingering caramel malt flavors with just enough bitterness to give them a dry clean finish. Original Gravity 12.5 Plato ABV 5.0% IBU’s 25

Amber color with fine bubbles and consistent clarity. Aroma is floral with fleshy fruits and honey. Flavor is sub-acid fruits, light honey malt with some hops in the finish. Acidic, dry and refreshing. A worthy amber ale but has less character and strength than I would typically expect.

Called an amber, but described as a scotch ale, this one falls in between. Pours a beautiful amber pint with a crisp head. Imperceptible aroma. Somewhat sweet honey malt flavor with perhaps some Golden Promise. Easy-drinking with a balanced, enjoyable flavor. Light on the malt and light the hops.
