Amber ales have always held a special place in our hearts, ever since we released our first one back in 1997. Rich and full-flavoured, they’re classics for a reason. Sometimes, though, you want something a bit more…fancy.
Fancy Pants is Hightail Ale 2.0. We amped up the malt bill, added a truckload hops, and then added even more hops! The bumper malt blend makes for a richer, toffee-like backbone, dotted with notes of spice, and the hops add just enough fruitiness for a slightly bitter finish.

Tap @ Taps Beer Bar, Changkat, KL. Clear amber, small white head. Light malty, caramely aroma. Malty, caramely flavour. Bitterness and caramely sweetness nicely balanced. Not bad for the style.

375ml can into glass. BIG fruity nose, like a fruit salad. Dark amber beer with foamy two finger head. Fresh clean taste, a little zing on the tongue. Finish is rockmelon followed by a little bitter lemon. There’s a malty backbone in there. Excellent quaffer.

(Can) Clear copper amber with good pale tan head that collapses quickly. Wonderful tropical fruit aroma. Light body with good carbonation. Nice taste that mixes exotic fruit, some peppery spice over a light toffee sweetness. The finish has some slightly harsh bitterness and seems a little thin. Very nice amber ale.

Can at Taps Beer Bar, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a clear medium coppet amber with a frothy white head. The aroma is woody resin hop. The flavour is moderate bitter with a wood nettle resin, light toothpaste hop bitter light citrus palate and a moderate woody bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Plenty going on and very refreshing.

Can from Brewcraft at home. Clear very dark amber pour with thin/no head. Really good aroma - spicy but also dank hoppiness, unusual (a bit similar to the SD beers earlier this summer). Taste is similar to aroma but disappointingly weak. Finish is more faithful to the interesting aroma. Dank hops, spiciness. Not bad.

From a 640ml bottle on 15/4/2013. Pours a clearish very light amber with a smallish head (there are some curious yeast flakes floating around in the glass as well). Has a quite nice floral fruity aroma. The flavour features sweet citrus fruit, toffee and caramel malt and a lingering medium bitterness. The body and carbonation are medium also. Just a really solid, enjoyable brew. Agree with others that it comes across as a much an APA as an amber, but who cares about labels when it tastes good?
