Amber Ale 5 º
This Mediterranean-born American Amber Ale captures the spirit of its coastal fisherman-shack origins with a profile defined by approachable complexity. It pours a striking deep copper, crowned by a persistent, creamy white head. The sensory journey begins with an inviting bouquet of moderate caramel malts and subtle citrusy hop notes. On the palate, a distinct initial sweetness gives way to layered toasted bread and rich caramel flavors, balanced by a firm yet integrated bitterness. Bottle conditioning adds a refined carbonation that lifts the medium-bodied texture, leading to a smooth, clean finish that celebrates its craft startup roots.
