COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This brown ale has a deep brown tone and an exceptionally creamy head which is derived from imported crystal malts. The crystal malts are also responsible for a rich, nutty flavor. Mild hop presence from imported Fuggles and Brewers Gold balance the unique malt combination

UPDATED: SEP 12, 2008 Well, it’s definitely a brown ale, just not a very interesting one. Safe, middle of the road, generic brown ale. Nothing offensive here, but nothing impressive either.

IlanMan (1015) - Appleton, Wisconsin, USA - AUG 20, 2008
Brown pour with an off white head. Aroma of malt and some sweetness. Flavor had a hint of nuts as well as a mellow malt character. Also slightly sweet. Not a bad brew.

Medium tan color. A decent head to it. Smells of malts and brown sugar. Quite bubbly. A tanned leather taste with some sugars and a bit of hops. Lots of sweetness. A medium mouthfeel.

tedovertu (267) - Apple Valley, Minnesota, USA - JUN 8, 2008
UPDATED: JUL 4, 2008 Bottle, Lightly sweet flavor with a frothy off white head that has decent lacing. Light amberish brown in color. Light sweet flavor with and average duration. Very water body with soft carbonation. This is very similar in texture and feel as new castle but not as good.

phishpond417 (2089) - Madison, Wisconsin, USA - APR 24, 2008
This ale poured a dark but clear brown colour with a decent sized tan, almond coloured head. Excellent retention, decent lacing. It is semi-sweet and bready at times. Soft and nutty, with well integrated hops. Mouthfeel is relatively light but satisfying.

unclemattie (3243) - Georgia, USA - APR 17, 2008
12oz, twist-off bottle, brown label. Dark amber/copper color. Thin white head. Aroma of toffee. Flavor of pistachio, Brittle without the peanuts. Not my favorite of the Capital beers, although it has a pleasant taste profile. Sweet mild flavor. Good balance. Light bodied.

Clear brown with caramel and nutty aroma. Tastes of nuts and roasted malts, more malty than hoppy. Decent for a brown ale.
