Alligator Amber Ale is an American amber ale — the style that bridges pale and brown ales, pairing a caramel malt backbone with clean American hop character. Caramel 60 malt brings warm caramel and toffee with a full, medium body, while a touch of Chocolate malt deepens the color to rich amber and adds subtle cocoa without any roast bite. Cascade, Simcoe, and Citra layer in bright citrus-hop character — grapefruit, orange peel, and light tropical notes — so the beer stays malty and approachable up front but finishes clean, balanced, and hop-forward at ~6.2% ABV.
