Commercial Description:
Brewed in the industrial business district in Greeley, Colorado. Just like our unique building the brewery calls home, this unique brown ale uses quality matled barley, imported hops, and pure yeast to make a subtle nutty taste to our traditional brown ale.

Dark brown colored brew. Long lasting foam. In the nose, toasty and roast-like malts, with hints of brown sugar, butter and dark fruits, along with a touch of diacetyl. Not much malt depth or describable malt character in the flavor. Unfortunate off flavors (metal, cleaner) seem to steal the show. Decent, drinkable brew with potential.

I purchased this directly from the brewery itself in Greeley. Had a wonderful combination of hops and nutty roasted malt aroma. Decent tan head on pour but quickly went away. Nice dark brown with scarlet overtones. Taste is just what I was hoping for. Rich malts, nutty, hint of chocolate malt. Good hop balance. Better than other local browns I’ve had. Would recommend to anyone.

This is an average but pleasantly drinkable brown ale from the cow town of Greeley CO.

12 oz bottle. Pours brown with ruby highlights. It has a decent off-white head that quickly disappears completely.

The aroma is sweet nutty malts and some toffee and cola.

The flavor is sweet nutty malts and cola. The mouthfeel is medium and kind of watery with a little sharp carbonation.

Overall, a rather bland nut brown.
