alt beer?

[Billorly]

I tried my hand at brewing an organic amber, since the organic malts that were available at the brew store were pretty limited I kinda threw something together which I thought might be an amber but after trying it, it doesn't have much maltiness to it. I want to enter it into a competition next month but I'm not sure what style it would be. Any thoughts?

What yeast did you use? Depending upon that, and how prominent the hop character is, you might be able to pass it off as an Irish Red. The hops aren't to style, but if the character is light enough, it's possible that won't stand out.

I see what you're saying, though - light on the darker crystal that would have given it the typical amber type flavor.

I used safale 04 english yeast, it was slurry from another beer that I had on hand so I used it to make a starter.
