Bear Foot Amber

Tap to rate

A smooth amber lager in the Caribbean style: rich amber in the glass, medium in body, with subtle hints of roasted malts and a balanced, smooth finish. It comes from Diamond Bear in North Little Rock, Arkansas, a brewery that began brewing in 2000 under Russ and Sue Melton and whose beers contain no adjuncts, chemicals or additives.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with subtle roasted malt character—hints of toast and light caramel without heaviness. A restrained, clean hop background provides gentle noble-hop spice. The overall aromatics remain smooth and unobtrusive, inviting rather than demanding.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and malty, with soft roasted grain flavors building through the mid-palate. Gentle caramel sweetness balances a low, measured bitterness that keeps the beer refreshing rather than assertive. The body is medium and clean, with no adjunct or chemical notes—just pure malt and balance.
