Rating after drinking the first 12oz bottle and enjoying it more than expected. With a beautiful amber color and a thin off white head, this beer carries a bready sweet aroma with a slightly acidic finish. The flavor is mild for a brown ale sweet and bready a tad bit bitter. The palate feel is mild and seltzer like. A nice afternoon sipper for a slightly above average commercial import. Will drink above a budweiser.

I had this one a long time ago. If I have the chance to drink it again, I’ll update this rating

On tap at Flannagan’s. Pours a reddish brown with a medium beige head. Nose is malt, caramel sweetness and molasses. Malty and sweet flavor with some caramel, nuts and roast before a sweet finish.

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.

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.
