Beer Alternatives
hopIQ found 10 beers with the same caramel and malty character as Vecchia Orsa Amber Ale. The flagship bottle-conditioned amber ale from Bologna's pioneering social brewery — a four-star award-winner in the Slow Food Italy Beer Guide. Warm amber with a light tan head and lively carbonation from bottle conditioning; the nose is caramel and biscuit malt with subtle earthy hops and a hint of dried flowers. On the palate the malt-hop balance is exemplary for the style: sweet caramel upfront, balanced bitterness through the middle, a smooth and satisfying finish. Proof that great beer and great purpose can coexist. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
