Brewed from the finest British malts and aromatic hops, Black Sheep Brewery amber ales are rich and packed with flavour. Choose from complex notes of caramel, toffee, biscuit, fruit and spice for balanced amber beers that are smooth and sippable. Our iconic Black Sheep Best Bitter is the brew that started it all (the recipe hasn’t changed since 1992!). Or try the stone-cold classic, Black Sheep Ale, a bold, punchy and hoppy Premium 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.
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.
