For nearly 20 years, Full Sail Brewing Company of Oregon has been providing America with one of the first American Amber Ales ever created. Many people credit Full Sail with creating Amber Ale, and it isn’t hard to see why: they’ve got their beer down to a science. Full Sail Amber Ale is a perfect balance of malt and hop flavor, characterized by a nice full body without the bitterness of a pale ale. Caramel undertones shine brightly. Flavored with spunky Cascades hops, this beer tastes like it looks: a delicious, caramel amber. 6% ABV. $5.99/6 pack.
