Commercial Description:
Painstaking effort by our brewer in the selection of 6 different malts and 4 varieties of hops result in this burnished brown ale. Roasted barley and chocolate malt give this beer a rich balance of flavors, while added wheat provides a lively, long-lasting head. Like its namesake, this bridge is worth waiting for!

TheDM and Hotstuff vacation brew 51. This draft brew was enjoyed at the brewery in Saint Augustine Florida. This brew poured a small head of fine to large sized light brown colored mostly lasting bubbles that left behind a uncarbonated transparent brown colored body and a fair lace. The aroma was a nice mild brown malt one and the mouthfeel was smooth bubbly and tingly from start to finish. The flavor was slightly like a brown beer but need ed more of the brown malt flavor to come out.

Faint floral nose, that follows through with some roasted caramel. Pretty mild flavors, somewhat subdued, with a hint of light chocolate and nuttiness. Light hoppiness in the finish. Decent brown ale.

Pours up a nice clear deep amber, certainly brownish, with a tan to off white head suspending a brown hue in places and some cobweb lacing. Good looking beer. I get almost no aroma on this beer. Might be just a faint roasted maltiness but it’s so light that might just be what I was expecting to smell rather than what I actually get. The taste is roasty maltiness and not really any malt astringency I associate with a brown ale. Pretty tasty and mild in flavor carrying some rich smooth medium to moderately roasted malts. Hey, a faint malt astringency does show up about midway giving the beer that classic brown ale feel. This is an even tasting light weight sessionable brown ale.

Moderately pathetic. This beer lacks substance and flavor. With little to no carbonation and an almost un-noticeable nutty coco flavor, this beer rates poorly for me.
