Newcastle Brown Ale

Brewed by Dunston (S&N, Heineken)
Style: Brown Ale
Gateshead,, England

I love this beer. Regardless of its commercial availibilty I think it is a fantastic brew. I poured this into an English Pint it had a rich caramel color and a thin white head. Slightly bitter on the palate the overall taste was of light malt with just a touch of biscuit, caramel and nut. Very refreshing on the palate with just the right amount of "beer"

Bottle. 12 oz. Pours murky brown, with a foamy, beige head. Aroma of malt, walnuts, and hints of spice. Medium body with a moderate, smooth finish. Decent brown ale. Recommended for reasonable price and sentimental attachment.

Can poured into a pint glass at Penny Hog Tavern in Hamilton, Bermuda. Light tan head that produced nice lacing. Body was a nice amber. A very light, somewhat malty taste with slight hint of fruitiness. Smooth and pleasant.

Bottle. Deep amber color, good, medium fine, lacy head. Sour aroma, some malt, a touch of fruit. Light malt flavor, touch of sour flavor and caramel, and bitter hops. Quite dry, with just a touch of sweetness. Thin on malt. Dry, slightly hoppy, finish. Ok, but not too interesting overall.

This used to be my favorite beer (back in my pre-Ratebeer days). Doesn’t smell all too good. Looks, well, brown but clear, clean. Tastes slightly nutty and watery. Works as a decent stand-by but not enough malty goodness to hold a candle to micro browns.

Has a somewhat unpleasant smell of old cigar smoke and/or ash. Raisiins and nuts are somewhere in the background. At least it tastes better than it smells. Not bad, but not real good either.

Pretty good brown ale, although the flavour is very subdued and doesn’t play with your palate as much as you might expect.
