I've been in a constant quest to find a good recipe for a nice malty amber beer. I'm of the opinion that an American Amber should be more malt focused as opposed to hop focused the way IPA's and APA often are. I know others like a hoppy ambers but I just don't. Having said all that, a good amber recipe, to this point has escaped me. So, I've been reading and I notice that Alaskaian Brewing's Amber is actually an alt and seems to be a popular one though I've never had it. It got me to thinking, might me desire for a nice malty amber lie more in a German Alt as opposed to a malty American Amber?
