Hop Nation Brewing Co.

American Amber Ale·Australia·6% ABV·One of 58 American Amber Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share The Buzz's malty and bitter character. The Buzz is a seasonal American-style red ale that Hop Nation brews ahead of the colder months, pairing a pronounced malt base with Amarillo, Simcoe and Mosaic hops. It pours amber. Rounded caramel and toffee malt carries piney, spicy and floral hop notes, with a light citrus edge from the Amarillo. The body is smooth and medium-full, and the hop bitterness keeps the sweetness in check through the finish.
