🌍 Belgium · American Amber Ale · One of 37 American Amber Ales in hopIQ

A rich amber ale with deep copper color, brewed with the Gruut herb blend instead of hops. Delivers a peppery dryness with a hint of tart orange in the finish, roasted almond and chestnut notes, and remarkable smooth drinkability. One of Belgium's most unusual amber ales.
