Beers similar to Chronic Ale

Amber Ale·United States·4.9% ABV·One of 197 Amber Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Chronic Ale's malty and toasty character. Chronic Ale has long been the house favourite in Pizza Port's pubs; early batches were brewed with hemp seeds. Today it is a mellow amber ale fermented with the brewery's own La Cruda yeast strain. English specialty malts bring toffee, biscuit and toasted bread crust, with a light caramel sweetness. Mt. Hood hops add a soft, earthy herbal note, and the bitterness is smooth and restrained.
