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.

Very distinct flavour, caramel, nutty, a bit thin but easy to drink, nice ale for a sunny day.

Appearance: Proper brown-copper colouring with reasonable head (2cm) and retention. Consistant amount of lacing down the glass. Aroma: Toasted malt, nuts, caramel, and toffee. Nice, but a little subdued. Taste: Quite mild. Roasted nuts, malt, and treacle syrup. Hints of biscuit/bread flavour. Could do with a bit more ’rubustness’ to it. Mouthfeel: A little bit thin, but not too carbonated (which is good). Drinkability: Nice and easy to drink. Not the best ale, but decent. I have a soft spot for this beer, as it was the one to introduce my teen self to Ales.

LKT1983 (95) - Benton, Kentucky, USA - MAY 19, 2013
A decent brown ale, though the price is ridiculous for a low-end, mass produced brew. 17.99 for a 12 pack? I enjoy this ice cold, very drinkable, but for that price, buy Smuttynose or Brooklyn Brown.

ShivanDragon (481) - Leeuwarden, NETHERLANDS - MAY 19, 2013
rood/bruin, helder met minimale witte kraag
aroma: nauwelijks iets van graan
smaken: glucosesyroop, medium zoet, licht allemaal, iets van caramel en dat was het dan wel.
zeer beperkt allemaal, waterig ook. nee, dit is het niet !

shorlin (431) - St. John’s, Newfoundland, CANADA - MAY 18, 2013
Brown, fairly low carbonated beer. Not much head. Aroma is a little malty, a little nutty. Taste is pretty good. Malt is definitely the biggest part of the taste ad well. Overall, not the best beer.

Cool_Bond (475) - Eskilstuna, SWEDEN - MAY 17, 2013
Did not have such high expectations for this beer and it was pretty mediocre. Bad with flavor and aroma. Nah, it’s tastier brown ale to drink.

berrya785 (396) - Kansas, USA - MAY 16, 2013
12 oz clear bottle. I chose this beer at a sushi restaurant because I thought it was the best of their limited selection. Pours a clear brown with red highlights and a small off-white head. Aroma is totally skunked. Taste is totally skunked. If I wasn’t an alcoholic I wouldn’t have even finished it.

nilsas (75) - Sandnes, NORWAY - MAY 16, 2013
Et frisk godt øl med en fruktig smak. Fim dyp rødbrun farge. Middels lukt. Godt leskende sommerøl.

Gorm (99) - sandnes, NORWAY - MAY 16, 2013
Mørkebrunt lettdrukket øl. Moderat med skum. Frisk med litt fruktig fylde. Lite carbonering. Rema 1000.
