2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Body is medium brown with a nice tan head that laced pretty nicely. Aroma was sweet and quite hoppy. Flavour is quite sweet with a caramel flaour to it. Finish is sort of dry but the feeling in the mouth is quite acidic.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Brown colour. Thick head. Sweet aroma out of the bottle. Stronger hops than expected. Body is a little thin. Decent but unspectacular beer from thes small brewer.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Slightly hoppy aroma with a fruity tinge. Pours amber brown with a thin head. Palate is a bit thin. The finish is also a bit light. An ok beer for casual quaffing but not a standout.

Along the spectrum of brown ales, from Rogue's flavorfulness to Newcastle's mildness, this falls about midspectrum. It's sweeter than most and yet has a mildness that could make it a session brown.

I’m not a fan of brown ales, but I didn’t mind this one. Light carmel malt nose. Malt flavor throughout, no noticeable hops

Really liked this. I swear I’m getting a hint of caramel in it. Much better than a Newcastle. Crisper and better flavor. Excellent!!!

Big fan of Bear Brewing.

Brewers never admit it, but I think this and their lager have been dumbed down over the years. At first, this was a fine, hoppy ’American Brown’, kind of like what Pete’s Wicked used to be. Now it’s not as hoppy, and the malt is lacking that hint of smoke I used to enjoy. It’s ok, but a simplistic beer and not as good as when these guys first came out and people were actually excited about them.
