Common descriptors are
In many ways, American Amber Ale is the forgotten cousin of Pale Ale and IPA. Too big and malty for the former, and not hoppy and alcoholic enough for the latter, old Amber Ale has been, in many instances, relegated to the Craft Beer dustbin. We seek to recall the heyday of this fine style with "Forever Amber." Up front notes of caramel and subtle raisin, matched in the backend palate with grapefruit and berry render a beer that addresses our love of both hops and malt, prior to a clean, off-dry finish.
