Inspired by traditional English ESBs, Ballast Point’s Calico Amber Ale is as American as it could be. A rich complexity comes from four types of malt—but it’s those distinct American hops that offer a crisp bitterness and unique floral aroma. Ballast Point uses a proprietary yeast to develop a fruity, Madeira-like richness.
