Amager Bryghus - Batch One

With this special brew, Batch One, AB dared to experiment with combining usual devotion to a solid malt profile with the addition of American aroma hops. Batch One is an American-inspired Ale characterized by its vast, full body and generous use of hops. In the glass, it has a reddish-brown color with a coppery glow, and a beige-colored head leaves a nice lacing behind. For this brew AB chose to only use the noble Simcoe hop, both for boiling and the following dry-hopping. The hops give the beer its fresh citrus-like character and impart a solid bitterness to balance the sweet caramel malt.
