This is our main flagship beer, named after a species of Butterfly found in Bhutan.
We named our Amber Ale after this national treasure because we wanted the world to know that this is a proudly Bhutanese version of the Amber Ale beer style, which is enjoyed by discerning drinkers around the world.
With an alcohol context of 5%, this is a medium bodied beer which has a biscuity, malty, and caramel aroma and flavour that is driven from the Munich and Victory malts used. It also has a liberal amount of Crystal malt in it to give it a deep rich amber colour.
Magnum hops are used to bitter the beer as they produce a clean, neutral bitterness.
East Kent Goldings and Willamette hops are used as a late hop addition to give mild floral, earthy and slightly spicy hop aromas.
The body and flavour of the beer is more of an American style, whereas the hops characteristics are more of an English style, which allow this beer to be very accessible to people who are new to drinking craft beer.

Tasting at SF, can
Clean amber color. Aroma of caramel and grans; the flavor goes along the same lines, but it’s a bit sweet, flowery and cloying in the final.

Tall can shared at Brian’s office. Pours a clear amber with tan head. Aroma is lots of caramel and malty notes. Taste is very bready with caramel notes. Nothing complex, but it is not bad.

Dark amber. Thick head. Earthy with fresh grain, fruity yeast note and earthy piney hops. Earthy hop, crackery malt, has a nice balanced bitterness. Excellent amber.

Keg at Ser Bhum Brewery, Hongtsho. Clear amber, small head. Floral nose with some esters and grain. Mid dry with medium body and rounded mouthfeel. Toffee, bread and some grass. Mid bitter finish. Nicely executes, and really enjoyable.
