FROM THE WEBSITE:
African Amber logoAfrican Amber
The Northwest’s original, unfiltered and dry hopped amber ale. African Amber’s pioneering and innovative style is proof that drink-abilty does not have to be achieved by sacrificing flavor. This beer erupts with a floral, hoppy taste, followed by a well rounded malty middle, finishing with a nicely organic hop flavor. Locally sourced two row grain and a blend of specialty malts give our amber its rich taste. Further complexity is achieved by leaving the beer unfiltered, providing exceptional flavor, as well as giving our amber its unique "cloudy" look. Lastly, we actually place a bag of fresh, locally grown, Yakima valley hops in each keg creating what has become the original, cult classic, northwest amber ale.


                                                                                                             


FROM THE MOUTH: AMERICAN AMBER: This is officially now my favorite beer on tap, too bad it is not available in a bottle. Hoppy and bready and finishes with a  medium malt  (cherry) - perfect blend of citrus hops and hopped just to the right level. Couldnt get a more well crafted and balanced beer. Hands down one of  my go to beers after this year of blogging is over. A++

FROM THE STORE: Luigi's Italian restaurant, Spokane WA
