Introduction

The Edge Amber is part of the continuous lineup from Edge Brewing Company, and we are stoked to have the exclusive release of this brew in Canada! Amber Ales can range greatly in flavour and substance, and especially quality. When looking for the best Amber Ale, you'll want to find an excellent malt and hop balance, with a little extra malt shining through. A 'newer' style, that riffs on the classic Pale Ale, you can usually find Amber Ales in the Red Ale or American Ale category. Edge Brewing creates "traditional brews with an edge". Instead of focusing on a few main styles, they produce a wide range (including a cider), with the common thread of being amazing! Check out their 'Edge'ier' series, for those who like to take things a little bit further and expand their palates! There is no rush to enjoy this, but it is an exclusive release - which means when it is gone, its gone! Chill 8-10 C.

How it looks

Amber coloured (obviously), but verging on more of a browny chestnut. Off-white or soft beige head that is dense and short, and leaves shortly after pouring.

How it smells

Moderate aromas with focus on rich malt notes that take the stage and showcase a toasted nut, butterscotch and creamy Werther's Original. There are cuts into the malty caramel with yeasty dough and an herbal hop.

How it tastes

Although the malt notes are definitely still there, they are combined with more flavours from the hops. The front and mid palate are dominated by nutty and herbal flavours. The underlying sweet tones continue, but with less focus, until the finish. We are left with the caramel finish that we were expecting. There is great balance here, an easy drinking, medium bodied brew that is not too sweet. We would definitely have more than one!

Recommended food pairing

The sweet notes from the roasted malts give us a great opportunity to pair with spicier cuisine. Kung Pao chicken is relatively easy to make at home, and you can adjust the spice level to fit your tastebuds.
