Wildflower Brewing Amber Blend #43

Amber is a well cellared, rounded, malt-accentuated Australian wild ale. This traditional recipe calls for an extended boil which caramelises rustic pale grains in order to develop a copper colour and malt sweetness. Light levels of hopping balance with the toasty characters in an extended cooler fermentation with Wildflowers house culture. Following fermentation, they rack Amber into French oak barrels to further develop a smooth palate and express funky, tart characteristics from our indigenous yeast. Selecting and blend well evolved barrels for a beer with a desired malt forward with subtle acidic character. Wildflower beer develop complexity under cellar conditions for up to 5 years.

A beautiful reddish brown in the glass. The nose is all brown sugar and cooking spices, a perfectly Easter blend. On the palate, sweet malt and raisin lead into roasty malt and a structural oak backbone. A cleansing zip of acid makes for an incredibly moreish beverage. - Wildflower Brewing
