- Amber ales are medium-bodied ales with an amber color ranging from light copper to reddish-orange.
- The amber color comes from crystal or caramel malts which also contribute sweet, caramel, toasty flavors.
- Originated in England, though American craft brewers have put their own hoppy spin on the style.
- Tend to have a balance of malty sweetness and moderate hop bitterness around 25-40 IBUs.
- Alcohol content is moderate at 4-6% ABV. Higher maltiness provides fuller body than pale ales.
- English varieties feature earthy English hops like Fuggles, East Kent Goldings. American versions use citrusy American hops.
- Pairs well with a wide range of foods from roast chicken to burgers to baked salmon or steak.
- Also known as red ale. Well-regarded commercial examples include Tröegs Nugget Nectar, Fat Tire, and Old Speckled Hen.
- Occupies a middle ground between lighter pale ales and darker beers like brown ale. Provides balanced, easy-drinking character.
- Craft beer interest has brought renewed attention to amber ales and their rich flavors and interesting hybrid nature.
