American Cliche - American Amber Ale - All Grain Recipe

 

We've had a couple of cracks at brewing an American Amber Ale, but still felt like we hadn't quite nailed the style. So we're back for round three with American Cliché. As the name suggests, we're deliberately aiming for a classic, by-the-book American Amber Ale that ticks all the BJCP boxes - caramel malt, citrus-forward American hops, balanced bitterness and plenty of drinkability. If all goes well, this one will be making its way into a few competitions. The name is also a tip of the hat to one of our favourite songs by Filter.
