Description
Bonsak American Amber – all-grain beer kit with malt from Bonsak Gårdsmalteri
American Amber is an all-grain beer kit made in collaboration with Bonsak Gårdsmalteri. It is an amber ale with a lovely malt character, good balance and fresh citrus notes. The beer goes well with all kinds of food, and especially with grilled, juicy cuts of meat such as well-marbled rib-eye.
The beer is brewed with Fairytale Ale from Bonsak Gårdsmalteri, Caraamber from Weyermann, which gives a deep red colour and notes of toffee and caramel, and a little Triple Melano from Bonsak and dark chocolate malt. The amber is generously hopped with Citra in the boil, in the whirlpool and as a dry hop. This gives good bitterness and a fresh character of citrus and tropical fruit.
The recipe was developed by Skamlaust Bryggeri and was well received by a demanding test panel at Brewshop.
