savnac (394), Palmer, Alaska, USA Jul 31, 2008 On Tap in my keggerator for a friends wedding. I picked up a 5gal keg of this and a 5gal keg of Hef for a friends wedding. I thought the easy drinking lighter Hef would go quicker but the Brown was polished off first.

One of my favorite beers from Midnight Sun Brewery, always good on tap and decent out of the bottle. hoppybeers4me (15), Ohio, USA Jul 21, 2008 On tap at the brewery July 11. Easy to drink brown ale. Nothing really special, was mildly disappointed, but still bought the long sleeved Tshirt, since the art is really great on all of the Midnight Sun products. Would be happy to give it another try next visit, as it’s hard to fairly rate beers when you are trying so many styles back to back. beerbill (1918), Laurel, New York, USA Jul 13, 2008 22 oz. bottle. Pours a mostly clear brown with a moderate tan head that lasted through three-quarters of the glass and left a nice curtain of lace all the way to the end. Aroma of lightly roasted malt, a hint of coffee, and a leafy aroma. The flavor is again lightly roasted malt and a bit of coffee, followed up by some mild-moderate hops. Light-medium bodied. WeeHeavySD (2940), San Diego (Hillcrest), California, USA Jul 4, 2008 Bomber from Liquid Solutions, first beer of the July 4th, shared with Cyn and her parents, while prepping for the party. Pours brown with a 1 finger puffy head. Nose is sweet with hints of caramel. Taste is also sweet and lightly full bodied. Not bad, not amazing. presario (2953), Calgary, Alberta, Canada May 31, 2008 Big bottle. Dark brown. Frothy head finishes a bit clumpy. Rather light scent. Very good malt taste and full body. Malt is thick and almowt heavy. Lots of chocolate and nut flavour. Skyview (4007), Papoose Jct., Minnesota, USA May 20, 2008 Received a 22-oz bomber from LiquidSolutions.biz and shared with MN group. Pours a dark cola brown brew with a thin off-white head that quickly dissipates to a fine film and thin off-white ring. Aroma of roasted dark malts, some citrus zest, chocolate, light caramel and a touch of roasted nuts. Taste is medium bodied, light carbonated with flavors of roasted dark malt, some nuts, and a touch of citrus. Finish is light malty with little bitterness. An average brown ale best describes this ale. BlackDonald (1127), Boise, Idaho, USA May 12, 2008 A pretty decent and well made brown ale overall. Has a rich kind of moist feeling in the mouth, like biting into a fresh piece of chocolate cake, lots of rich caramel, and a sloid well balanced structure. A great session ale. badgerben (3586), Blaine, Minnesota, USA May 9, 2008 Thanks to Skyview! Dark brown color with a thin head. Aroma is slightly reminicent of Lysol. Nutty flavor and lots of dry malt. There is a kind of ’freshness’ on the finish... Kind of like the cool burning of wintergreen, but not the wintergreen flavor.
