All of the Boatyard Brewing friends kept clamoring for us to make an amber ale.  So we sat down a created our Sunset Amber.  We used a pale ale base malt with additions of brown sugar, chocolate malts, and caramel malts.  As with many BBC ales, we tossed in a bit of rye to add a hint of spice and create a beautiful red hue.  The wort was boiled using a hops profile containing both Cascade and Chinook varieties.  We fermented this ale with an neutral-flavored American Ale yeast and produced an ABV of 5.4%.  The Sunset Amber is great throughout the year and matches well with food.  We really like this one!!
