Amber Ale 5 º 12 IBU

Flying Monkeys Craft Brewery

Flying Monkeys Amber Ale is an approachable and balanced expression of the American Amber Ale style. It pours a striking deep copper with a persistent, creamy beige head. The sensory profile is defined by a patient fermentation that allows toasted and caramelized malts to harmonize with the subtle, spicy character of noble hops. On the palate, notes of biscuit and fluffy malt sweetness are balanced by a restrained hop bitterness, creating a smooth and refreshing experience. While many examples of this style lean into aggressive citrus, this version emphasizes a refined malt-hop equilibrium and a creamy texture that appeals to both newcomers and traditional real ale enthusiasts.

Appearance. Deep copper to reddish-brown in color (approximately 14 SRM). Displays brilliant clarity and is topped with a moderately large, creamy beige head that shows good retention and lacing.

Aroma. Moderate malt intensity featuring clear notes of caramel and toasted bread. The hop aroma is low to moderate, presenting spicy and floral noble hop characteristics rather than citrus. Fermentation is clean with very low to no fruity esters.

Taste. The initial impression is one of malty sweetness followed by toasted, biscuity, and caramel flavors. Hop bitterness is moderate, providing enough balance to prevent a cloying finish. Hop flavor is herbal and spicy, typical of noble varieties. The finish is well-balanced and clean, with lingering toasted malt notes and no roasted or burnt grain character.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a notable creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate. The finish is smooth and devoid of astringency, with a very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth.
