Style Context

As category context only, the Brewers Association guideline page lists no style named International-Style Amber Lager; it does list Czech-Style Amber Lager, and its nearby Vienna-Style Lager entry calls for 4.8 to 5.4 percent ABV and 20 to 26 IBU with light toasted or caramel malt. The published 4.7% ABV sits just under that Vienna range.

Research Notes

  • The brewery site has no page for Czech Amber; its drinks menu lists a seasonal named Amber Lager with no specs or description, which is probably the same beer but is not confirmed.
  • ABV, style, hops and description come from the Untappd listing; Untappd shows no IBU.
  • No 2026 medal announcement from the brewery was found.
  • Researched 2026-10-13.
  • Field pass 2026-10-13: Additional IBU and brewery-domain searches found no bitterness figure or exact Czech Amber beer page. A staff favorite mention on the brewery about page is not a product or tap-list page.
  • Deep dive pass 2026-10-14: the brewery site has no Czech Amber page; the description on file comes from Untappd and is not extended.
