Notes

International Amber Lager is a malty, well-attenuated lager with a caramel or toast character, often featuring adjuncts and restrained hop bitterness. It's known for its smooth, easily drinkable nature. The color ranges from golden-amber to reddish-copper, and it typically exhibits bright clarity with a white to off-white foam.
