COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This is a sweet Brown English Ale that offers a nice aroma and finishing taste.

Pours a thin white head over a hazy copper beer. Nose is pure canned apricots or peaches! Really weird. Taste is sweet like kit-made homebrew. Thin and slightly grassy hop character. Don’t like this at all.

Gots a wheat flavor for sure in it. Then comes with a nice but subtle nut flavor. Ends with a little coffee bite. Not your typical nut brown but it strives to be different.

There was something off about the flavor. Not infected, but definitely something "wrong" -- an odd yeast strain, as others have suggested? This did not sit well with me.

Bottle. Creamy off-white head. Amber/reddish brown body. Hoppy aroma and taste with some nice caramel malt to compliment. I really like the hop character of this.

Light brown color with a decent, big bubbled, bone colored head. Weird yeast and alcohol aroma, nothing real offensive, just weird. Sour mash and dry almond flavors. Once again - weird. A bit spritzy in the mouthfell. Funny - peculiar. Use a differant yeast and you can either have an american brown or a flanders brown. This is somewhere in between. Did I say weird, maybe peculiar.

Brown color, and excellent lace. Nutty aroma...interesting. Nutty taste too, with a little generic malt taste in the background. No noticable hop bite, but you don’t miss it. The only real problem I have with this beer is that it is a little too acidic. I seem to be really sensitive to that. Another good solid beer from this all but unknown brewery.
