COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION Horizons is the second creation offered by North Star. Horizons is a complex blend of American base malts (2-row & pale), British 90L Crystal, and just enough British Chocolate malt to increase the depth of color and character that makes Horizons a rich wonderful amber ale. Horizons Amber Ale was designed from the get go to appeal to everyone. Again, this offering is not over bitter, but has just enough bitterness to balance the strong caramel malt back bone. Horizons is hopped with a blend of cascade and Mt. Hood/Liberty hops. Brewmaster, Shawn Sease, claims that blending "Halletauer" type hops (e.g. Mt. Hood, Liberty, Crystal) or "Tettnager" hops with cascade cuts the "one dimensional" super spicy/grapefuity character of cascade hops and creates a wonderful blend of flavor and aroma. During the two weeks of cold conditioning Horizons Amber Ale develops a nice smooth lager-like character. You will find Horizons Amber Ale to be pleasing all of the time... Never offensive.
