Lift Bridge Brewing - Elevated Amber - Amber Ale (USA)



A Minnesota brewer named after an elevator bridge, Lift Bridge Brewing.
It has become quite difficult to find beers like Amber ales in the American market. IPAs are dominating all the shelves. So, it's nice to taste these beers occasionally.
I can say that Elevated Amber is one of the best amber beers I have ever tasted. This amber ale, made from barley and rye malts, has a smooth taste. With the addition of honey, you can also taste floral aromas in the beer. It is a light and refreshing ale rather than a heavy one. This beer was a nice change among many IPAs.

Slavonica - Grof - Amber Ale (Croatia)



Slavonica is one of Croatia's boutique breweries. Like I mentioned before, it was a beer that I chose because the bottle looked nice among the hundred or so options.
Although Amber Ale is a beautiful, characterful beer that I prefer, as far as I know, it is only made by @garaguzu in Turkey. Yes, Tuborg also has an Amber, but firstly, it's not an Ale, and I believe they make it using additives like caramel instead of malt. So, I wouldn't want you to think that by drinking Tuborg Amber, you get a taste similar to Amber Ale.
Slavonica has made a fantastic Amber Ale. It has a malty character with a sweetness and roasted flavor provided by the malt. It's a type of beer that I would like to see produced more in Turkey.

Ourdaller - Wëllen - Amber Ale (Luxembourg)



One of the other beers I tried from Ourdaller was Wëllen.
Unfortunately, because I drank the beer too cold, I didn't fully taste it until about halfway through the glass.
Here, I want to talk about the importance of the temperature at which beer is consumed. Actually, each beer has an ideal drinking temperature. Sometimes this is indicated on the bottle. While most beers are enjoyed at around 4-5 degrees Celsius, for example, Belgian quadrupel beers reach their true flavors at 10-15 degrees.
I think Wëllen was an Amber Ale. I tasted roasted malt and a hint of caramel. It was a nice beer.

Das Bira - Das Dies’ Ale - Amber Ale (Turkey)



A strong amber ale. Rich in hops and high in alcohol content, but darker in color compared to an IPA. A great beer has emerged. As I mentioned before, I believe that boutique brands should produce these types of beers. That is, they should offer flavors that I can't find in big brands, and they should get involved with expensive and hard-to-import foreign beers.
Das Dies, produced by Das Brewing, explains the origin of the beer's name as follows: "Das Dies'ale comes from the fact that it's Das Beer's brew, resembling a low-burning diesel fuel due to its name Das, and being an Ale-type beer, hence Das Dies'ale."
It's a strong start for their first beers in the market, in my opinion.

Marston’s - Pedigree - Amber Ale (England)



Marston's, one of England's old beer producers, also has over 1700 breweries. Its history dates back to 1834, but currently, it is in partnership with Carlsberg.
Pedigree is again a typical English Ale. It is a light, easy-to-drink, low-alcohol beer. However, unlike other watery English beers I have tasted before, it had a satisfying texture. The aroma is also nice, and overall, I can say I liked it.

Gara Guzu - Amber Ale (Turkey)



Since Ales are my favorite type of beer, I tend to be more selective. I expect a stronger taste from Amber Ales. Gara Guzu's amber ale has an alcohol content below average. However, I don't want to be unfair since I drank this beer on its expiration date. I will need to try a fresh one as well.

Alc (ABV): 4.0%
