Recipe – AE Brewing Amber Ale
The second recipe I came up with from scratch after restarting my homebrewing this year. I am pleasantly surprised with how it turned out. It’s a very drinkable beer and the Mosaic hops added at flame out really add a nice fresh hop character to it that I am not used to.
