Beers similar to Heliades' Tears

Ghost River Brewing

Amber Ale·United States·6.8% ABV·One of 203 Amber Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Heliades' Tears's caramel and full-bodied character. A full-bodied amber ale built on a blend of caramel and Carastan malts with notes of caramel and toffee. It is hopped with Northern Brewer and also uses Brewers malt and C120. The name comes from Greek myth, in which the Heliades, daughters of the sun god Helios, wept tears that turned to amber. The brewers joke that if your own tears turned to amber you would not need this ale, and since they do not, they put this blend together instead.
