Pours light brown with an off white head. Smells of sweet malt, some nuttiness. Tastes watery with some nutty undertones and a sweet malty back bone.

Beautiful red-tinged brown, like copper. Very thin head gives way to minimal lacing. Slightly nutty aroma. My girlfriend calls this "stinky beer," but I like the smell. Light on the tongue, smooth, with a great finish. This was the first brown ale I had, and it’s definitely my benchmark for the style.

I see this sign on the way to my fiancee’s mom’s place. It says it’s exceptionally smooth. It’s a freakin watery mess of malt. Slugable. Some brown ale flavor.

not much of an aroma. tast was more bland than I expected; nothing bad, just nothing that floavorful. Light finish, could drink a few at a time. will try again, but no rush.

Aroma isn’t really all that present, pours reddish brown with a fair bit of head. Nothing all that impressive, yeast, barley, maybe some caramel. Solid meh-worthy macro.

The more I try new beers, the less I like Nukey Brown. While it’s still a solid beer, it’s just not anything I ever feel a hankering for. The upside of this beer is that it is fantastic for cooking. I have tried it in a batter for frying and in my burgers, and significantly improved both.

Pours a brown hue with no head whatsoever. Aroma is of barley, yeast, bread, caramel, and some barnyard funk. Flavor is slightly watery all the way through, with that leaves a slight yeasty after taste. Light texture on the palate, with very light carbonation.

from 550ml bottle. Pours brown and clear, with a thick beige head. Aroma is suprisingly skunky. This beer is pretty hoppy for a brown ale. Not very complex but still very drinkable. Not a bad beer but its nothing special either.
