From the bottle. This is a solid, very drinkable, tasty beer that is very English and almost rather like an earthy English bitter as much as a brown ale. The appearance isn’t much. It is a nice red-brown but has a very thin, fizzy tan head that immediately dissipates into bubbly fizz, elaving nothing. The aroma is malt, toasty, yeasty bread, a hint of nuts. The taste is a little earthy, with a faint sour hint, some sweetness, a faint hint of bitterness, with traces of toffee, nuts, and more wehat bread with a mild grain aftertaste. It’s quite fizzy for the style, which lends some interest but also detracts as it’s a little too much. It’s pleasant and tasty, very easy to drink and pleasant, but not exciting. It strikes me as rather similar to Young’s St. George’s or a weaker, mild Hobgoblin, although I’d have to taste them together to be certain.

Feb 12, 2010 Huge tan head crowns this amber colored nectar. Aroma is of barley and malt. Very creamy on the palate with a nice balanced flavor profile of toasted grains, hops and bread. Quenches a powerful thirst. Try it served with steak and bell peppers off the grill.

Jan 15, 2010 clear brownish copper colour with a thin off white head.
aroma is slightly nutty roasted malt and toffee.
Easy roasted malt flavour with a light nutty bitterness.
Not especially complex, but a nice enough session brown.
Perhaps a touch over carbonated though.

Nov 27, 2009 Akin to Newcastle, this brew is nutty and somewhat caremely and nutty. Quite tasty at a warmer temperature. Not really recommended - their Hefe Weiss is much better in my opinion. But this is still a good ale. No doubt.

Jul 23, 2009 A deep ruby brown color with a thick off-white head that quickly calms down. Aroma is very sweet with brown sugar, raisin and caramel malt. a slight nutty note, light chocolate malt also in there with a toffee finish. A strong toffee and caramel flavor at the front, plum middle and a nutty ending. Overall a decent offering by Sprecher but just not a beer I would enjoy on a regular basis.
