BJCP 10B
Like an American pale ale with more body, more caramel richness, and a balance more towards malt than hops (although hop rates can be significant).
Can overlap in color with American pale ales. However, American amber ales differ from American pale ales not only by being usually darker in color, but also by having more caramel flavor, more body, and usually being balanced more evenly between malt and bitterness. Should not have a strong chocolate or roast character that might suggest an American brown ale (although small amounts are OK).
