Lurrie Amber

Tap to rate

Whisky malt takes the lead in Lurrie Amber, joined by peat, little bitterness and a small tart edge. With 8% ABV it has been part of the Lurrie line since 2024. New recipes of the line are developed on the brewery's own 20- and 50-litre kit in Roermond before a 1,000-litre batch follows.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Lurrie Amber

◎ Appearance

Lurrie Amber displays a deep copper to amber hue, clear and bright with good light transmission. The head forms with moderate density and demonstrates solid retention, leaving fine Schaumkleiden down the glass as it subsides. Carbonation is gentle but present, contributing to a composed visual presentation.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by whisky-barrel character and lightly smoldering peat, lending an earthy, warming quality. Beneath this lie soft notes of caramel malt and a subtle herbal edge from restrained noble hops. A faint tartness emerges in the background, adding slight complexity without overwhelming the primary malt and smoke framework.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and vollmundig, with the whisky-malt character immediately taking center stage. Mid-palate develops a subtle peat undertone and gentle tart edge that prevents the sweetness from cloying, while moderate bitterness (28 IBU) sits in balance rather than dominating. The 8% ABV provides warmth and body without alcohol harshness, creating a cohesive frame for malt-driven complexity.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium-length with lingering warmth and a dry, slightly dusty peat aftertaste. Residual sweetness fades gracefully, leaving a subtle tartness and herbal memory that encourages another sip.
