Pours hazy light brown with creamy white head. Aroma of toasted malt and light caramel. Crispex like flavor with a caramel backbone. Average. crisp finish.

Tap @ downtown location. Clear light brown body, no head. Toasted cereal malt aroma with a light caramel twist. The flavor is largely the same - toasted wheaties with background caramel sweetness. The finish carries a wisp of apple and leaf hops. A pretty dull beer.

"American Brown" pour at the Madison brewpub. Clear medium-brown pour with copper hues... good-looking persistent beige head with some teary lacing as it went down. Frest coffee, nuttiness, caramel, and citrusy hoppage hit the nose. Cola/tea-like feel on the palate, with Cascade bitterness on the finish. Flavor was surprisingly hoppy up front (Cascade and some bittering hops), backed by sweet caramel malts and nuttiness. Very well balanced... and I’m fairly certain that the older ratings are for a different recipe or bad batch(es).

Was listed on the chalkboard as American Brown, but there wasn’t much room to write what it really was called. I suspect it is this beer given the information available and the recent ratings. It pours to a clear light chestnut brown body with a dense white head and very dense sheet-like lacing. The aroma has cascade hops, light nuttiness, iced tea. The flavor is nutty bars and cascade hops. The hops are light but apparent. For a "brown", I’m liking this. The palate is light bodied and has lingering hoppiness. Overall, this is a nice changeup. Hops + a brown! I’d like to see more attempts at that... P.S., I think the recipe has changed, given the early ratings...
