American Amber Ale 5.5 º

Bojak Brewing

Stars And Stripes is a classic American Amber Ale that expertly balances a sturdy malt backbone with heritage Pacific Northwest hops. It pours a deep copper-to-red hue, offering a rich sensory profile defined by initial aromas of resinous pine and bright citrus zest driven by the addition of Chinook, Centennial, and Amarillo hops. On the palate, the malt takes center stage with layers of sweet caramel and toffee, providing a smooth, medium-bodied foundation. A moderate hop bitterness cuts through the malty sweetness, leading to a clean, balanced finish where toasted grain and evergreen hop notes linger harmoniously.

Appearance. Deep amber to coppery-red in color (10-17 SRM). Displays a moderately large, off-white head with good retention and light lacing. Generally clear with no significant haze.

Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring a classic American hop profile of grapefruit citrus and resinous pine from Chinook, Centennial, and Amarillo. Supported by a moderately-high maltiness characterized by rich caramel and slight toffee notes. Fermentation is clean with low to no fruity esters.

Taste. Initial malty sweetness gives way to flavors of toasted bread, caramel, and distinct toffee. Hop flavor is moderate to high, mirroring the aroma with citrus and pine resin. Bitterness is moderate but firm enough to balance the malt. The finish is medium-dry, leaving a pleasant aftertaste of lingering caramel and floral hops.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate to high, providing a refreshing prickle. Alcohol warmth is very low and well-integrated at 5.5% ABV, with no astringency.
