Does you really enjoy Amber Ales?

yes i do odells,FFF, GL ,Bells, Great River,steel toe rainmaker

 

Not really, even NN doesn't really git it done.

 

Coop Native Amber is badazz.

 

I think Bell's Amber is spectacular. Really nice malt balance with the fruity hops/yeast esters. I dig it. It's a subtler beer for sure, but very well crafted.

 

very much so, and the bigger the better!

 

I like "normal" American amber ales like Red Seal, as well as, like yemenmocha pointed out, their foreign cousins such as Altbier and Best Bitter/ESB. That's to say nothing of the "imperial" and/or hoppy reds like Cascazilla that can be great too but are kind of a different animal.

It is true, though, that a lot of American breweries, especially earlier in the craft era, produced amber ales that were kind of generic and not very interesting.

 

Wait until Hill Farmstead brews one.

 

I was going to say, "Eh," and then I saw this post that I cannot like enough.. Totally forgot Speakeasy Prohibition was an amber. I love this beer.

 

I pretty much never buy Amber Ales. Nugget Nectar is great but I hardly even think of it as an amber. None of the ones I have tried really made a great impression. I will continue to put them in mix-a-six packs but it is rare that I buy a 6 pack.

 

Unless it's Nugget Nectar, no, not really.

Having said that, I really want to try Lagunitas Imperial Red out.

 

Totally disagree.

 

I drank a lot of NN as usual this year and we are going to have to agree to disagree.

 

I did too. Disagree. : o). That's the beauty of brewers pushing the envelope, they open up the door for dispute.

 

Actually the beauty is when they create great beer

 

Totally the right answer! Fist pump!!

 

yes! do you? did you drink too many when you made this post? does you? just kidding brother. but i love fat tire drink it a lot.

 

A restaurant near me has a bunch of $2 beers during happy hour and I almost always find myself drinking Stone Levitation, I love that beer. Might be the most flavorful session ale out there.
