Tasting Notes

Hop forward American Amber very fruity/piney but still malty

My first attempt at an Amber and I think it turned out great! It has a good malt backbone but the fruity Amarillos shine through. I was going to go with Amarillo to dry hop also but wanted to try out the Falconer's Flight I recently picked up...great decision!

Enjoy!

I didnt dry hop it, but it turned out really clean and drinkable. All of my friends have really enjoyed it
