Amber Ale brewed

Last week I brewed an Amber Ale. I have not attempted this style of beer. It is an American style, which has a nice malt and caramel flavor from the crystal malt and roasted barley. The hops are Centennial, which has a citrusy aroma and taste somewhat like Cascade. The hops will be most noticeable in the aroma, and it will not be bitter like a Pale Ale or IPA. The name comes from the color that is produced by the specialty grains. This beer is quick maturing, as it is ready less than a month after brewing.
