Commercial Description:
ACME CALIFORNIA BROWN ALE is creamy smooth after the style made famous in the north of England. It's toasty with hints of cherry and black currant. Acme Brown is brewed according to tradition with high dried and brown malt, and lightly finished with the Noble hops Tettnang and Hallertauer. The result is a very drinkable beer that can be enjoyed for an entire evening.

Aroma is subdued, but I get some mild sweetness. Dark amber (not brown) annoys me. I want my brown ale to be brown. I’m a literalist. I love the taste of this beer. Vanilla and fruit flavors riding on a tasty malt body. It’s like drinking a great shake. One of those beers that doesn’t perk you up and make you go wow, but just tastes great from start to finish and a quiet and assuming manner.

12oz bottle from BevMo, had this in my fridge for a while. Amber color with a slight off white head. The taste is sweet with a dry malty body. Nice light hoppy palate.

Bottle at Cockney Pub, Århus. A slightly hazy brown beer with a small, beige head. Lovely chocolate and roasted aroma with some fruityness to give it some balance. Chocolate start on the flavor, with some roasted malt showing up quickly, and getting company of a nice balancing fruityness with some citrus. Not much bitterness. Smooth, medium mouthfeel, quite low on co2. Really pleasant, smooth and easy to drink. (080517)

Dark amber colored with cloudy appearance. Medium sized light brown head. Toffee and caramel in aroma with some plums, berries and dried fruits. Medium bodied. Flavor is more nutty and chocolaty with slightly watery palate. Aftertaste dries with lemon and hops, some nuts also here.

12 fl oz bottle. Pours hazy brown with a creamy and slowly diminishing light tan head. Loads of malt and overripe fruity notes. Caramel malt towards toffee flavoured. Showing a light overripe fruit note. Bitterness from the hops is slowly showing through the dense malt flavours. Light bitterness into the finish.
