COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Regular. Also available bottled.
This organically crafted ale has a delightful rich bronze colour and is distinguished by a full bodied character with crystal maltiness. A lovely delicate sweetness soon develops into a long hop finish through the traditional blend of hops. Drinkers will enjoy the real traditional values of this great smooth ale. This beer is named after the Bronze Age Celts. Recent discoveries in Bavaria have shown Celtic tribes were brewing as far back as 800 BC. The name Bracis-Curmi (malted beer) traces back to the ancient Celtic language or proto-celtic, an age where Celts were some of the first beer producers in Europe.

OntBeerDrinker (302) - Ontario, CANADA - OCT 16, 2012
Just makes 2 finger bubbly white head. Ambery bronze color with mideum carbination. Smell is kinda sweet with hop bitterness,caramel & malt. Taste has some maltyness with some caramel and a little hop bitterness that ends up having a bit of a sour aftertase. A little water can sometimes be noticed also. Sits a little heavy in belly. Not fantastic 2 me but it’s nice & I enjoy it just don’t love it or anything. A little more then average or something cheers.

bunget (317) - Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA - OCT 1, 2012
500ml bottle. A clear copper body, smallish beige head, decent retention. Aroma of caramel, roasted nuts, malt, a floral-herbal hop mix, rye bread. Taste of caramel sweetness upfront, followed by an increasingly herbal bitter hops, toasted rye bread, nuts. Medium body, soft carbonation, a decent bitter finish.

500mL bottle. Pours a beautiful copper color. Small head that dissipates quickly. Not much aroma. Pleasantly bitter, nice long finish. Really excellent. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

yrstruly (191) - Guelph, Ontario, CANADA - SEP 27, 2012
Pours slightly hazy light brown with a butterscotch head that lingers. The aroma is of crystal malt, floral hops. The taste is sweet and clean up front, nice roasted malt. This fades to a subtle, floral hop bitterness. Well balanced and nicely focused.

Gorbalev (2823) - Ontario, CANADA - SEP 23, 2012
Bottle, LCBO. As advertised nice dark bronze colour, bubbly white head, looks nice. Pleasant malty aroma with hunts of nut and wood. Mouthfeel is soft with a lovely roast and caramel taste, and a fantastic lingering bitterness. A really nice ale that captures some of the characteristics of cask ale, as much as a bottle can anyway. A very nice surprise.

Appearance: clear amber gold with medium top. Some lace. 3+
Body , Flavour , Palate and Final Notes: medium bodied. Nutty , hint of honey , some tannins. Some semi dry hop hints. Mellow mid with out character with dry backing. Not my thing. Rather poor.

Pleasant surprise. Lovely amber colour, light carbonation. I got toasted cereal flavored maltiness, with a grassy bitter finish. Excellent session beer if I had the time!

EithCubes (4197) - New Jersey, USA - SEP 17, 2012
Bottle by 08.13. Light spicy-fruit nose with orange peel and berry coming forward. Gorgeous chestnut pour with a rocky beige head. Taste is bitter with a good base of toffee, caramel, and earth; and somewhat dry, with slicing zests of citrus and fruit but neither up to the task of the aforementioned malt flavors. Earthy hops. Light-medium body, great balance.

TURDFERGUSON (3565) - Carrboro, North Carolina, USA - SEP 9, 2012
Bottle. Muddy bronze pour with a small sudsy sticky white head. Nose shows so some toasted malt and honey upfront, faint herbal hop bitterness is there if you stick your schnoz in far enough. Flavor is nicely balanced between hearty malts and a crisp zesty bitterness. Hints of metal in the flavor and to a lesser degree in the nose, but drinkable and nice enough.

seritomi (260) - HUNGARY - SEP 1, 2012
Szép borostyán szín, illékony habbal. Illata édeskés malátás, fügés. Kellemes gyógynövényes keserűsége és finom fémes beütése van. Laza iszogatós ser. Le lehet gurítani kettőt - hármat egymás után. Egyre jobban szeretem a bittereket.
