American Amber / Red Ale

American Amber/Red Ales are characterized by moderate to high hop flavor and aroma with a significant malt backbone featuring caramel and toasty notes. These ales originated in the American craft beer movement of the 1980s and 1990s as a more malt-forward alternative to American Pale Ales, using American hops and crystal malts as key ingredients. They typically present with a beautiful amber to deep red color, medium body, and a balanced finish between malt sweetness and hop bitterness.
