American-Style Amber/Red Ale

Our Steep Trail Amber Ale is a medium copper-colored brew with a rich full malt character. At various stages in the brewing process, we introduce several varieties of British Noble hops to complement the natural sweetness of the finest English Pale and Crystal malts to produce a deliciously creamy brew with hints of toffee, plums and hazelnuts.

In the style of traditional British Special Bitters, our Amber Ale is a beer of great finesse and balance; it pairs well with roasted meats, full flavored fish, chili and any sturdy cheese. Try it the next time you barbecue!

Our amber ale offers a biscuit and toasty malt character with a hint of piney and citrus notes of Cascade and Chinook hops. We use a California ale yeast strain to provide a clean flavor to counterbalance the caramel-like and biscuity finish.

Reddish copper in color, a roasty malt flavor with a hoppy sprucy finish. Saint Rogue Red is made with two-row Harrington, Klages and Munich malts, along with Hugh Baird 30-37, 13-17 Carastan, and Crystal 70-80 malts (44.4% speciality grains .39 lbs grain per bottle); Chinook and Centennial hops.
