Crown Ambassador Reserve Lager 2014 | Carlton & United Breweries
ABV: 10.0%
Style: Lager - Pale
Out of Production
Description: 2014: The 7th Vintage The 2014 vintage is a limited edition handcrafted lager. The brewing team have again used some of the finest French Oak barrels from the highly regarded Dargaud et Jaegle cooperage in France – the fourth time they have been used in the brewing process. A portion of Crown Ambassador has been matured inside these barrels, adding an additional layer of toasty complexity to this year's lager and an extra degree of mouthfeel and length on the palate. The taste is unlike any other beer. Upon release in 2014, the beer has rich tropical fruit and citrus notes as a result of fresh specially selected hops added to the kettle within 24 hours. These lifted notes will mellow and become more integrated as the beer matures. Crown Ambassador begins with our signature ingredients the highest quality barley specification, yeast and the first choice Pride of Ringwood Hops with the addition of handpicked specially selected hops from the cooler micro-climate district of the Ovens Valley in Victoria. Paramount to Crown Ambassador’s quality is the stringent use of only the first runnings. The result is a superb tasting and higher-alcohol strength beer (10% ABV). The beer is cooled, then matured for four months following fermentation. This allows the complex flavours to develop further, creating a smooth, full-bodied taste - the hallmark of Crown Ambassador. Finally, the brew undergoes a secondary fermentation, where yeast is added ensuring each bottle is truly unique.
