Beers similar to Kootenay True Ale

Labatt Brewing Company

Amber Ale·Canada·5% ABV·One of 126 Amber Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Kootenay True Ale's caramel and malty character. An ale from the Columbia Brewery in Creston, in practice sitting somewhere between a cream ale and a golden ale. It is light gold and clear over a soft caramel malt base. The yeast throws an unusual ester note that the brewery itself describes as licorice-like, and the hops add a citrus-fruity edge with a resinous touch. The body is medium, the bitterness moderate, and a slight malt sweetness lingers in the finish.
