Gouden Carolus Ambrio

Origin: Gouden Carolus Ambrio, the third colour of the “Great to Beer a Belgian” tricolour. Ambrio is a ‘amber’ coloured beer, brewed with ‘brio’.

In the past, every town in Belgium had its own beer typical of the area. Ambrio has its roots in the traditional beer of Mechelen known as “Mechelschen Bruynen” or "“Mechelen Brown”.

Our Brewery is the only one still brewing this type of beer. The recipe has its origin in the 14th century. The present version is a little more heavy and contains more hops.

The balance between the different malts, the fine hops and typical tastes of spices creates a perfect harmony between the powerful taste of brown beers and the freshness of the blond beers.

This fresh aromatic and pithy light-brown drink can be served cool.
