What is an amber beer?
Amber beer is distinguished by its copper to mahogany color and the balance between caramelized malts and hops. Richer than a blonde, less dark than a brown, it offers a unique aromatic profile with notes of caramel, biscuit, dried fruit and sometimes red berries.
Classic amber: caramel and malt notes, moderate bitterness.
Red Ale: Irish or American origin, hoppier, with caramel and toasted bread notes.
Belgian amber: with yeasts that bring fruity and spicy notes.
