Flying Monkeys Amber Ale is a re-visioning of a beer we've loved watching grow and mature with our little company. This perky ale was conceived back in the garage brewery of our Founder, Peter. It was nurtured over the years, but then we got bored and late-hopped the heck out of it. When in doubt -throw in more hops, right? And now...(sniff) our little ale is growing up. We're so proud. The Style: An Untraditionally Late-Hopped Traditional Ale Flying Monkeys Amber Ale is a medium bodied ale recently overhauled by the monkeys. With more hop bombast, the perfect amber patina, and toasty malt sweetness, this amber is as close to style as we get. This Amber Pours: Pours a brilliant amber gold color with hints of sepia topped with a fine blanket of ecru, meringue-like foam. Initial aromas of toasted grain, custards, and dried fruits mesh and follow through to a resiny and floral fade characteristic of the Czech Saaz hop we late-dose it with. It's a damn fine brew. It Tastes: In a word –yummo. And, yes, that's a perfectly valid word. We plan to trademark it (but you can use it for free). To expand on yummo, our Amber Ale has a nutty sweetness with a drier grassy, slightly peppery finish. It's a mellow ale, finely wrought and tastefully seamless. Or just yummo. The Recipe of Yummo: Malts: 1. Briess Crystal 60 2. Roasted Barley 3. 2-Row N. American Pale (Metcalf and Copeland) Hops: 1. Kettle Hops Czech Saaz (Bittering) 2. Late Hop Addition Czech Saaz (whirlpool) Recipe by: Peter Chiodo, Jr., Artisan Brewer
