AMBER ALE FAQs:

WHAT IS AMBER ALE?

Amber ale is a beer that has a warm, reddish-brown colour. It typically offers a balanced taste with a mix of malt and hop flavours. This type of beer is often medium-bodied, providing a satisfying and easy-drinking experience.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PALE ALE AND AMBER ALE?

The main differences between pale ale and amber ale are their colours and malt profile. Pale ales are lighter and usually have a more pronounced hop flavour with moderate bitterness. On the other hand, amber ales have a deeper, more reddish hue from being brewed with darker malts, and often have a toasty, caramel flavour.
