CHROMA: The intensity of color This Amber ale is brewed with rye and four american hop varieties. Starting malty with a bit of spice, this beer finishes with a dry hop bite. The rye imparts an earthy quality to the first sip, balanced by a sweetness from the malt. The hop additions were carefully selected to give this beer first an herbal aroma, followed a fruity, spicy notes with moderate bitterness.
