International Amber Lager Recipe & Review: Homebrew Jar of Destiny

The second pick for Mike from the Homebrew Jar of Destiny is upon us as we close the second quarter of 2022. Mikes beer for this round was BJCP style category 2B; International Amber Lager. This beer is an adjunct style lager that is amber, red light brownish in color. The flavor profile should be clean and crisp like a lager but have a noticeable bread crust and biscuit note to it. In researching commercial styles of this beer, Mike was inspired by Yuengling Amber Lager and wanted to brew something similar to that beer. We think Mike hit the nail on the head here with a crisp drinkable lager, but one with just enough character malt flavor to keep bringing you in for more. Full recipe below.
