Amber Ale | Local Ale From California, United States of America | TasteAtlas

Amber ale

American amber ale originates from California and the Pacific Northwest, where it appeared in the 1980s. The style was modeled on pale ales and strong bitters, but it eventually grew as a separate and distinctive category. Amber ales are brewed with crystal malts, which provide toasty and toffee flavors.


The color of these medium-bodied beers may range from amber to copper or deep red. They are characterized by moderate to strong malt sweetness, while the use of American hops occasionally provides for citrusy and piney aromas. Although they often resemble American pale ales, amber ale should typically have more body and more pronounced caramel flavors.


These beers are an excellent match with classic American cuisine, barbecued dishes, hamburgers, spicy dishes, chicken, beef, and seafood.
