COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Available filtered and pasteurised in keg and bottle.
Newcastle Brown Ale was first brewed in 1927 in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England, by Jim Porter after three years of development. Production moved from Newcastle to Gateshead at the end of 2004 and to Tadcaster on closure of the Dunston brewery in 2010.

Caramel, toast, alcohol, bread but in a very nice way.

TAP and BOTTLE. This one of my first 10 beers and I give it credit for showing me there is more to beer that Bud Light et al. Flavor has traces of toffee and nut; but overall it is a bit weak in flavor and a bit watery.

Very disappointing. Maybe this was a bad batch. Faint aroma, stale hops. Low carbonation. Not much flavor, weak hops, not much else. Clean finish. Would definitely not try again.

Brown Ale muito boa, bem leve e encorpada, dá uma boa sensação ao beber. Coloração forte achocolatada e retrogosto lupulado devidamente equilibrado. Vale a pena.

suprchunk (783) - Heinsberg, GERMANY - FEB 3, 2012
Deep caramel, brilliantly clear, pour. Small off-white head. Little bit of lacing. Caramel aroma, slight roasted character, and malt. Thin mineral bite, with some caramel and malt notes. Sweet yet dry. A classic.

Got this from a British shop in Antwerp. This actually reminded me more of Ice Tea than beer, i don’t think that should be right ??? It’s a disappointment to English Ale’s. Wanna try English beer ? Skip this one :-/

Newcastle Brown Ale from The Caledonian Brewery Company Limited is an English Brown Ale that is unremarkable in every aspect. "The One and Only"? What, a brown beer that taste like an insipid American domestic lager? People who pay a premium for this import and expect something special are in for a big letdown.

This is a very light "brown". It is mostly of watery nature with light nutty malt
