3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 14/20A very light shade of brown, more amber than brown really. One of the palest brown ales I’ve ever had. A very small 1/2 inche white head formed at the top intially but dissipated quickly away. Virtually no lacing.
It was hard to smell much of anything, slight earthy scent, maybe a little nutty.
The taste was much more pronounced than the scent, very nutty and a caramel malt.
A bit watery in the mouth, goes down like water. It’s been said before, but I’ll reinforce the view, it tastes very similar to Newcastle Brown, save it’s a bit easier to drink and a bit more flavourful.
Serving type: bottle
2.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Honey nose. Brownish-amber in color. Super light bodied, almost watery.
Notes: Brewery visit during ’09 GABF
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Very sweet aroma, can also detected roasted malts, with a dark pour. Creamy smooth nutty taste, somewhat balanced. I think like most people rated here, not bad, but not great either.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pours a clear brown color with a small khaki head that disappears quickly. Light aroma of roasted nuts, caramel and bread. Flavors of roasted malt but with strange metallic taste that I wasn’t a fan of. Slightly creamy mouthfeel. Overall this is a so-so beer.....I’d rather just have a Newcastle.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Reviewed from notes.
Pours a moderate brown color with a light tan head and a touch of lacing. Head falls down pretty quickly. The nose is a bit of toasted malt along with some nuts, chocolate, and some earthy and floral hops. The taste is a bit of toasted bread and light chocolate. Good, healthy body with good carbonation. Drinks pretty well, but nothing special.
Serving type: on-tap

A decent maltiness to it and a little nutty, a good brown ale, better than Newcastle.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pours medium brown with a fairly small but lingering off-white head. Nose is mostly a brown sugar malt with a touch of fruitiness. Flavor is similarly simple with brown sugar, light roatiness, caramel, and a touch of apple dominating the malt. Hops are very subdued. The finish brings out the fruit quality more heavily than the initial taste. A little watery and run-of-the-mill but quite drinkable.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
A deep amber pour with thin off white head. Scent is sweet roasted malts. Taste is malty with a nice balanced bitter finish.

Wasn’t bad but it seems rather unremarkable. Decent but not memorable. Serving: Bottle

Pours reddish brown with tan head. Malty aroma. Taste is slightly malty with a bit of bitterness afterwards. Medium-bodied. Overall a nice brown ale.
