STORY:
Look at that lovely pint of amber…
…shined up like lustrous bronze. The dim lights in the pub glimmer off its burgundy hue.
Settle in—you’re going to be here for a while.
INGREDIENT SPOTLIGHT:
A unique yeast culture creates cherry-like flavors to complement the malty toastiness of this delicious pub ale.
TASTING NOTES:
Burnished is toasty with notes of caramel and cherry, and a smooth, satisfying texture.

Canned 3/28/25, from cooler at Nan's Stow, drunk 9/15/25.
Clear, burnished amber with a small, creamy, butter/beige head.
Buttery, toasty, caramelly medium malts have a good amount of base malt sweetening the deal. Fruity yeast and fruity hops with clean well water/mineral character.
Good malt depth with lots of toasted sourdough coming through the middle and creating a moderate acidity on the finish that balances the honey and white bread from the base malt nicely. About as prototypical American amber ale as it gets, but it's polished and balanced and done very well on all accounts.
