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.

Toasty aroma with a toasty coffee/choclatey taste. The slight sweetness is balanced by a mild hop bitterness. Light bodied when chilled but mouthfeel improved as the glass warmed. Tasty.

Nothing special! A good drink, but nothing about this ale stands out.

Northernbrewer (147) - St. Paul, Minnesota, USA - NOV 28, 2001
About as boring a brown as can be found. Nothing wrong with it, just nothing to justify its popularity. Lighter bodied with a very mellow aroma and a slightly toasty flavor.

FlemishChar (224) - Virginia, USA - NOV 27, 2001
It’s a good beer, although I’m slightly disappointed. Very light bodied and mild in flavor. Maltiness and some hops emerge once the beer starts to warm up a bit. The color is indeed very pretty. Notes from second tasting: Do not have this ice cold, it will taste like water.. has to be at room temperature for flavors to emerge

JMerritt (1676) - Macomb, Illinois, USA - NOV 26, 2001
VERY little aroma to speak of. Typical brown ale color. Large nut/coffee-ish flavor that goes down smooth. An OK beer.
