beastiefan2k (1051), Hicksville, New York, USA Jan 28, 2008 Pint pour @ brewpub. Clear dark brown color. Aroma is light on the this brewpubs signature mineral-seltzer thing with a nice amount of light sweet brown sugar-like malts. Taste is not off-putting at all. A good bitterness to offset the light dark wood sweet malts. Very easy drinking, in my opinion the best brown ale this JH has ever made. It’s just a nice, sessionable, lightly sweet, nothing bad, brown ale. Seems so easy but usually it doesn’t come out so.
Wildbill (1), Warrenton, Virginia, USA does not count Jan 31, 2008 This is one of the finest beers that I have ever sampled. A lot like New Castle, but with a smoother finish and less bitter on the palate. Just an outstanding beer. JoeMcPhee (3615), Jackson Heights, New York, USA Jan 23, 2008 Pale brown beer, no head. The aroma is quite subtle with a light nuttiness. Some nutty malts and light herbal flavour. Palate is quite watery with a moderate woody hop finish. Meh.
