Brew Lab Batch #5684

A Strong Amber

Our pilot program has new energy behind it, kind of like when you’re out on the town and you start to get tired but then your favorite song comes on the speakers and you get a second wind and you’re ready to keep the party going because this isn’t Bomont and you will dance.

Our brewers are working hard to regularly create new limited batch beers to entertain your tastebuds, and the newest brew lab release is batch #5684, a strong amber.

This amber has an estimated  7% ABV and 45 IBU. The recipe has rich malt flavors without being too heavy, and you’ll notice a bit of sweetness counterbalanced by the bitterness. You may notice earthy, woodsy, floral, and grapefruit flavors along with a touch of spice.

The pilot batch has hit the taps at [ the pub ] and will be on while supplies last. We want to know what you think about the beer. Share your thoughts by checking in on untappd or filling out our feedback form at [ the pub ].
