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

The founding beer of Brasserie Pietra and the most iconic Corsican beer. An amber lager brewed with selected malts and locally sourced Corsican chestnut flour — the chestnut is used as a raw material during mashing, not as a flavoring. The result is a full-bodied, mellow amber with subtle chestnut and honey notes and a gentle bitterness. Named Corsica's signature beer.
