Amber Lager·United States·4.5% ABV·One of 83 Amber Lagers in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share O.G. Amber's caramel and malty character. Caramel and toasted malt come through in this 4.5% Munich-style amber lager, hopped with Summit and Cascade. The name is a nod to the brewery's roots: in 1989, Karl Strauss brewed the beer that started San Diego's craft scene, and this amber lager still pours with the same fearless spirit, made for those who go first. Master Brewer Karl Strauss, the brewery's namesake, helped develop its recipes.
