Exploring the vast variety of hops from different regions around the world, O’Hara’s Amber Adenture takes us to the Southern Hemisphere. Brewed with the body of an Irish European Amber Ale, and hopped and dry hopped with four different New Zealand varieties, the result is a satisfying and sessionable amber ale bursting with Southern Hemisphere hop aroma.

Niezle piwo. Bardzo ziarniste w smaku, slodowe i bardzo goryczkowe. Piana spora, kolor metny bursztynowy. Powiem ze piwo pilem przeterminowane 10 miesiecy i jak na ten odlegly czas od swierzosci jest niezle. Pozostawia dluga i przyjemna wytrawna goryczke podobna do dobrych bitterow.

Bottle; Hazy, deep golden to copper coloured, stable and creamy off-white head with a good lace; mild to moderate toasty to fruity nose, some very delicate metallic traces detectable, hops in the background; moderate dryish bitter flavour with a slight residual sweetness, light bodied and pretty soft; dry lingering flowery bitter and toasty finish, fruity as well. Good…

500ml bottle. Clear amber colour with average to huge, frothy, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, off-white head. Fruity hoppy aroma on wet strawy and minimally nuttily basis. Taste is minimally bitter and slightly fruity hoppy, a touch of old, mummified orange and mandarine, watery malty basis has a dry nuttily touch, hints of hazelnut. Sad plate of left over Christmas goodies at the end of January.

Bottle from Terre de Boissons Calais and drunk at home. Clear dark amber colour lasting beige head. Amber fruity aroma. It’s fine. Not very exciting. But the amber malt flavour comes through and is quite pleasant. Light hops and bitterness on the finish. Quite drinkable.

500ml bottle. Pours hazy gold with a medium off-white head. Malty and hoppy aroma with some caramel. Taste is the same, with some unpleasant metalicness. Didn't like this at all.

(bottle) Slightly hazy, amber colour with a medium-sized and slightly off-white foamy head. Biscuity, juicy cara-malty aroma with notes of citric and woody hops. Moderately bitter and slightly sweet flavour, lighter bodied with a calm carbonation. Dry-ish but nevertheless biscuit malty taste with present fruity and slightly spicy hops; dry and bitter-sweet finish with rounded cara-malty and spicy, resiny hoppy accents. Likeable. 29.XII.14

Bottle, 0.50l. Clear amber brown color with large soapy off-white head and average sparkling appearance. Aroma of fruity hops, caramel and biscuit malt. Taste starts moderate sweet malty with toasted and mild nutty note, following is refreshing fruity and slightly resinous with mild bitter finish. Medium body, creamy texture and soft carbonation in palate. I was a bit sceptic because of Indiana Jones theme, but the beer itself is a real adventure...

Hazy dark golden color with a thick creamy off white head on top. Solid lacing. Herbal and malty aroma. Not to inviting. Well to be fair. The aroma was a bit destroyed by a person next to me eating the largest amount of pommes frites I have ever seen. Medium body. Moderate sweet and a moderate bitterness. Average to soft carbonation. Grassy, herbal ,malty and nutty flavor. Not my cup of amber. A bit sharp edges.
