Style: American Dark Lager

Serve in Dimpled mug, Lager glass, Shaker

Bright light brown colour. Metallic brown sugary aroma. Really thin. Macro dark lager without the dark. Bleh.

Pale brown amber beer, no head at all. Sweet aroma, especially toffee and brown sugar. Thin body and flavour, light nuttiness.

Pretty crappy stuff in the end, really, really thin. sweetish sort of chocolatey/caramelly sort of flavour (not that well noticed though), easy to drink, but not very exciting.

what you get in some pubs when you arkse for old.could be worse

On tap at Phin McGoogin’s Irish Bar in Hamilton. Pours light brown with a quick white head. This beer has a very tingly palate. A mild roasted flavor emerges as it warms. I get a bit of pepper on my tongue. A quick finish, but some lingering hops continue. Has a pleasant finishing tartness.

Thought this came across more as an English Bitter than a Brown Ale still it was enjoyable enough. Brown body with a short but lasting head and layers of lacing. Caramel in the taste as well as being creamy and nuttty.

375ml bottle. More red and copper than brown. Very clear with a haze of foam across the surface. Watery looking with a mild aroma that reflects the flavour. Nothing spectacular but I had to try it.Would not go back for more.

I occasionally have this on tap when I see it. It is an inoffensive beer with a small amount of pleasing qualities. Not a harsh as a Tooheys old and therefore a little more balanced. I used to drink this as a fifty with Reschs draught in the dim dark past with my old man. Beer tasted better then, but like all memories it is tempered by lack of experience and the thrill of drinking a beer when underage.
