Dark amber color. Aromas and flavors of caramel, sweet garden composting vegetation, and butter toffee with a satiny, lively, spritzy, dry medium-to-full body and a refreshing, medium-length finish manifesting notes of buttered toffee, sweet cabbage, and roasted buttered vegetables but not in a bad way. Sweet, savory, and buttery; medium bodied, flavorful and would be nice with a root veggie and nut salad.

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.
