2015 BJCP guidelines on American Amber and Brown Beers

american-amber-ale clj/s

An amber, hoppy, moderate-strength American craft beer with a caramel malty flavor.

The balance can vary quite a bit, with some versions being fairly malty and others being aggressively hoppy. Hoppy and bitter versions should not have clashing flavors with the caramel malt profile.

american-brown-ale clj/s

A malty but hoppy beer frequently with chocolate and caramel flavors.

The hop flavor and aroma complements and enhances the malt rather than clashing with it.

california-common clj/s

A lightly fruity beer with firm, grainy maltiness, interesting toasty and caramel flavors, and showcasing rustic, traditional American hop characteristics.
