Amber joins the beer family of the La Cambre abbey. Caramelized malt lends the beer its coppery red colour and softness. Boasting an alcohol content of 6,5% and its low bitterness this beer reveals itself as the perfect thirst-quencher, low in sugar and not spicy.

Bottle at home. Hazy orangy colored, off-white head. Smell and taste malts, sweetish, soft caramel notes. Quite pleasant. Suitable body and carbonation. Quite a nice amber beer, you don't get these that often.

Bottle, 6.5%. Papery and caramelly aroma. Hazy amber colour. Big stable creamy off-white head. The flavour is caramelly and rather citric with a nutty and papery finish. Also some dark sugar notes, but not too sweet. Low bitterness.

Me voici donc très agréablement surpris par une ambrée, et de surcroît après avoir tester la blonde et la triple de la brasserie qui ne m'avaient pas entièrement convaincu. Sur cette Ambrée, houblon et alcool forment un duo agréable, amenant caractère et fraîcheur sur un équilibre bien pensé. Les arômes, sans être d'une complexité incroyable, sont justes et pas uniquement basés sur le caramel, ce qui est une constante chez les ambrées. LE visuel est classique, sur un ambré voilé recouvert d'une très fine couche de mousse blanc cassé. Le nez nous met en soif sur un cocktail, caramel, genièvre, pomme, poivre, girofle avec de légères herbes. Très jolie attaque sur une bonne intensité et un alcool permettant de donner le caractère nécessaire et réhaussé par le léger poivre et le girofle. La deuxième continue sur cette lancée sur un alcool vif, typique belge et paré d'une belle amertume, justement dosée pour l'accompagner. Arrière bouche et final perdent légèrement en tempérament, restant toutefois aussi agréable. Longueur et corpulence sont également appréciable. Rare qu'un brasseur réussisse mieux une ambrée qu'une triple !

Brilliant medium amber colour, small frothy off-white head, diminishing to a thin layer, light lacing. Aroma toasted malts, caramel, light banana. Mild taste, malty, caramel, spicy notes. Sweetbitter malty aftertaste, more spicy notes. Medium body, oily to creamy texture, average carbonation; nice little amber, not that complex but definitely well-made.

Imported from my RateBeer account as La Cambre Ambrée (by Brouwerij Anders!):
Aroma: 6/10, Appearance: 3/5, Taste: 7/10, Palate: 3/5, Overall: 15/20, MyTotalScore: 3.4/5
21/XI/17 - 33cl bottle @ Horeca Expo (Ghent) - BB: n/a (2017-1925) Thanks to the brewers for today's samples and my Ghent beer posse for sharing the glasses and keeping my liver sane. :p
Clear dark blond to orange beer (not really amber though), creamy beige head, pretty stable, non adhesive. Aroma: malty, caramel, lots of banana, cuberdons candy (sort of forest fruit flavoured Belgian candy, also known as "noses"). MF: lively carbon, medium body. Taste: pretty fruity, bitter touch, bit spicy, rather dry finish. Aftertaste: very hoppy, malty, hint of caramel. A bit simple (as in: not complex), but decent.
