A brown beer with a cumulus head. I don’t know how they did it. Very refreshing, but lacking a bit in flavor and palate. Crystal in character. Worth its dollar, but I expected more from its irresistible looks.

Beer poured an opaque brown with a thick white head. Smells of malt, chocolate, and hops. Taste is smilar. Has a good roast malt character with a touch of nuttiness. Good. Better then Newcastle.

I would have overlooked this beer if it was not the only one (besides the lager) that the booth had left at GOBF. It was a VERY good brown ale! It has a sweet nuttiness to it for a start and a clean, smooth sweet finish. In between I got notes of sweet wood, tobacco, some hops, and something vanilla-y. I did a double-take. Good stuff.

Draught: Poured a chocolate color a beige color head. The aroma is nutty and leafy. The taste was roasted with malts and hops.

Clear deep garnet to brown pour with small beige head. Fruity roasty aroma, bubblegum esters, very similar to many of their brews. More roasty flavor than their other brews which is nice, some mild fruit and more esters. Medium to light in body. Another boring beer from brookly.

Bottle sample at a beer festival in kibbutz Maabarot, May ’08. Clear brown with a beige head. Lots of hops in the aroma with some caramelly malt notes and some nuts. Sweet malty flavor with a nice nutty character, some fruitiness and a bitter hoppy finish. Medium-bodied.
