American Amber Ale 5.9 º 36 IBU

Cerro Negro Brewing

This American Amber Ale presents a deep coppery-red hue, showcasing a robust malt backbone defined by rich caramel and subtle roasted torrefacto undertones. The sensory profile is elevated by a vibrant, intense aroma of Cascade hops, delivering classic notes of citrus and pine that pierce through the malty sweetness. On the palate, it achieves a harmonious balance between a silky, medium-full body and a firm, cleansing bitterness. The interaction between the toasted grains and the American hops creates a layered experience, finishing with a lingering toasted sweetness and a floral, resinous hop trail that remains crisp and inviting.

Aroma. High intensity aroma featuring prominent floral and citrus notes from Cascade hops. This is supported by a moderately-high malt profile suggesting rich caramel, toasted bread, and a unique hint of light roasted grain. Fermentation is clean with low fruity esters.

Taste. Initial impression is malty and sweet, leading into rich caramel and a touch of roasted grain character. Hop flavor is moderate to high, echoing the citrusy and spicy notes from the aroma.
