Amber ales are usually the milder siblings of IPAs. Not this one, Bastard Amber puffs out it’s chest and is proudly fuller bodied & hoptastic.

Bold caramel and honey notes come from the malt creating a strong, sweet base for the piney, citrusy hit from Mosaic hops and the more gentle apricot aromas on the nose. A distinctive bitter finish balances and rounds off this beer.

Malt: Pale & Special B
Hops: Mosaic & Willamette

Can from Cork & Cask. Murky golden body with a thick off-white head. Steady carbonation. Good lacing. Aroma of pine, earth and stewed tea. Flavour of underripe strawberries and pine. Thin body with a slick texture. Soft fizz. A touch too sharp but pretty good.
