Chama River Da Brown

Brewed by Chama River Brewing Company
Style: Brown Ale
Albuquerque, New Mexico USA

Was under a longer name but I bet it’s the same. Aroma and flavor are underwhelming - minimal roast with no balance and a general malt flavor with no character. Kelly’s Brown knocks it out of the park.

Silky, beige head on a clear mahogany-brown body. Aroma of caramel, toffee, and chocolate. Medium sweet flavor continues the chocolate-toffee theme with some light roasty, cigar notes. No noticeable hop characters aside from a lightly bitter finish. Comes across as an English-style brown ale and a good one. The chalkiness of this beer and style doesn’t appeal to me, but I appreciate the non-cloying, subtle sweetness and rounded flavor of this rendition.
