Beers similar to Jackie O's Firefly Amber

American Amber Ale·United States·5% ABV·One of 57 American Amber Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Jackie O's Firefly Amber's malty and caramel character. Jackie O's oldest recipe, dialled in over nearly two decades — an American amber ale that leans on toasted malt for the biscuit-like finish, with carefully-chosen hops adding an herbal, lightly citric aroma. Firefly has been on the flagship list from the Athens brewery's earliest days and hasn't slipped. Quietly complete.
