Alcoholist (570), Peoria, Illinois, USA Jan 21, 2004 A good solid brown ale. Roasted malts and caramel in the nose and flavour. A nice hop finish characteristic of Anderson valley. chronictonic (362), Wyndmoor, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 18, 2002 To me, a brown ale is one of the more difficult beers to rate - perhaps because the interpretation seems to encompass so many types of beers. Maybe it’s because I haven’t had to really knock my socks off. Well, the Anderson Valley offering is definitely one of the better brown ale offerings. Good malt body, a nice crisp hop bitterness make this a very enjoyable brew. A good step up to something new for your Lager drinking friends!
