Amber is a well cellared, rounded, malt-accentuated Australian wild ale. Our traditional recipe calls for an extended boil which caramelises rustic pale grains in order to develop a copper colour and malt sweetness. Light levels of hopping balance with the toasty characters in an extended cooler fermentation with our house culture. Following fermentation, we rack Amber into French oak barrels to further develop a smooth palate and express funky, tart characteristics from our indigenous yeast. We select and blend well evolved barrels for a desired malt forward with subtle acidic character. The slightly heavier characteristics of this beer make a fantastic complement to food and offer a variety of flavours to both compare and contrast in pairing.

very dark brown color. Oak, green apples, strawberries, cherries and very tart nose. Excellent malt character, tons of sourness with lemon, cherries and green apples shining. Very tart palate. Excellent depth. Medium carbonation. Fantastic

Soft, mellow brett, honeyish, mellow stone fruit notes, accents of flowers, subtle but fun. Still getting to know this brewery but I like what I've tasted so far.

On tap at Hopwired, pours a cloudy yellowish blonde with a large white head. Aroma brings out lots of wild yeast, gentle funk, and some floral notes. Flavour is quite wild and dry, with wild yeast, floral notes, and woody notes. Lots of wild yeast and barrels. Good stuff.

750ml bottle courtesy of the KL Tasting Crew. Poured a hazy medium brown colour with a thin broken off white head. The aroma is yeasty, biscuit, citrus fruits. The flavour is moderate sour, with a crisp, yeasty, light oak, tart plummy palate. Medium to light bodied with average carbonation.
