Research Notes
Czech Amber is a double decocted Czech amber lager hopped with Saaz, brewed by Field Day Brewing Co. in North Liberty, Iowa.
A unique blend of toasty and bready malt characteristics with a refreshing kick of Czech Saaz hops. This beer was double decocted to enhance the malt richness you would expect from an amber and then hopped assertively with Saaz. The perfect Yin and Yang.
The only ingredient named is Czech Saaz hops, used assertively; the malt bill is described only as toasty and bready, enriched by a double decoction mash (Untappd).
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.
