Amber lagers are a vaguely defined style of lager much favored by U.S. lager brewers. They are darker in color, anywhere from amber- to copper-hued, and generally more fully flavored than a standard pale lager. Caramel malt flavors are typical, and hopping levels vary considerably from one brewery to the next, though they are frequently hoppier than the true Vienna lager styles on which they are loosely based. Alcohol levels are generally a maximum of 5 percent ABV.

The Barrel-Aged Beer category, which also has some crossover with the Specialty Beer, is at its basic definition beers that are aged in non-neutral wood. This can to produce an intentional wood-influenced flavor effect (vanillin, caramel, toast), or flavors derived from the alcohol previously aged in the wood if any (bourbon, scotch whisky, sherry), as well as the action of microorganisms living in the wood. A wide variety of base beer styles can benefit from barrel aging, although darker or more alcoholic styles have been popular choices.
