Ambergeddon

Tap to rate

A reddish West Coast-style amber that pairs heavy hopping with a strong malt backbone: caramel and a hint of toast underneath, citrus and soft floral hop notes on top, and hop bitterness in the finish. At 6.8 % and 60 IBU it is one of the brand’s three flagships, brewed in Madison again today.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Ambergeddon

◎ Appearance

Deep amber to reddish-copper body with excellent clarity and fine, persistent carbonation. A dense, cream-colored head builds quickly and clings to the glass with firm Schaumhaftung, leaving distinct lacing on each sip. The color sits comfortably in the amber range, suggesting the careful balance of crystal and caramel malts in the grain bill.

◌ Aroma

Bold citrus and soft floral hop character opens on the nose, layered over a clean malt foundation. Caramel sweetness and a subtle toasted note emerge beneath, adding depth without overpowering the bright Edelhopfen profile. The hop presence is assertive yet balanced, with no harsh or vegetal qualities.

◐ Taste

The palate entry shows rich caramel and light toast, grounded by a strong malt backbone that gives the beer its vollmundig character. Mid-palate brings forward bright citrus notes and gentle floral hop bitterness that builds steadily. The 60 IBU finish is clean and dry, neither sharp nor lingering excessively, allowing the malts to shine through.

◑ Finish

The hop bitterness extends into a medium-length, satisfying finish with a dry, slightly astringent quality. Lingering notes of citrus and toast fade gradually, leaving the palate clean and ready for the next sip.
