What is American Amber / Red Ale?

American Amber/Red Ale sits between pale ale and brown ale: a reddish-copper color from caramel malts that bring toffee and light toasted-bread sweetness, balanced against a moderate American hop bitterness, usually 5-6% ABV. It's maltier and less bitter than an American Pale Ale, but lighter and less roasty than a Brown Ale or Porter, making it a middle-ground option for drinkers who want more caramel sweetness without going dark or sweet.
