This malty lager is our most award-winning beer: it took gold, silver, and bronze medals at the Great American Beer Festival from 2006 to 2010. Cutlass Amber has a toasted, biscuity character. The slight sweetness comes from Crystal malt. Vienna malt contributes a remarkable smoothness and Munich malt gives an amber color and delicate aroma. Tettnang hops infuse the beer with a slight earthiness. Formerly named Heavy Seas Märzen, Cutlass Amber is our second best-selling beer. In 2012, Cutlass Amber won a silver medal at the World Beer Cup in the Vienna Lager category. (Description provided by company)

Heavy Seas Never Disappoints
Heavy Seas Cutlass is an amber lager. It pours (you guessed it) an attractive amber color with healthy head retention. The nose is mostly biscuity malt, with a little bit of hops. The flavor is well balanced. Very little bitterness, but enough hop flavor to marry the malt nicely. This is a really great beer- which is what I'd expect from Heavy Seas. I don't think they've ever steered me wrong.
