Imperial Amber Lager
On Tap Karl Strauss Brewing Company Carlsbad, CA Clear orange, bronze, and copper with a thin white head. Not much lacing left down the glass. Sweet and floral aroma punctuated by a little booze as well as some sweet and bready malts. Sweet, bready, and boozy flavors combine. This is very similar to the amber lager, but with more alcohol heat and a thicker, more syrupy body. Thin to medium mouthfeel. A slightly more boozy version of the typical amber, though many of Karl's beers all taste exactly the same: toasted malt and bread with a bit of caramel sweetness, without much hop presence, and moderate bitterness.
