Serve in Dimpled mug

A clear light brown ale, with a tiny head thay sticks to the glass. Nice clean. malty, and dry. The hops are subtle, but they offer a nice spice.

Bottle. Clear dark red/copper. Head vanishes instantly. When I try to revive it by agitating the glass a tan spit textured substance appears. Aroma of cakey malt, with some dried berries and/or plum and a bit of yeast. Mildly sweet malt flavor, like that granulated light brown sugar, with more of the dried berry fruitiness peeking through. Palate was a little too light, and started out too fizzy before completely flattening out towards the end. Potentially good, almost there, but not quite. More work needed on the body.

This is a very mild beer, evident by the gentle malts in the aroma and in the flavor, and a typically British mineral-water flavor as well. ( I actually wrote this before I read the description!) So it is typically British, which for me, means that it is simple and easy-to-drink, without any complexities on the palate. It goes well with food.

Medium cream head. Nice chestnut colour. Sweet malt scent. Rather thick mouthfeel, bitter malt flavours. Burnt toast and some raisin too.

A very nice ale, as usual, from Geary’s. Characteristics of a nut brown ale, and very enjoyable.
