Hey, I’ll drink any kind of beer that tastes reasonably good, but considering that this seems to be the singular brown ale you can find at any liquer store, I find it quite disappointing (and it’s not cheap, either). ’Bland’ is definately the key word— How do you make beer bland? Hmm?

too dark for my taste

A bit bland, but otherwise quite good. Well-balanced bitterness coupled with the absence of a hoppy aftertaste make this smooth and easy to drink. Very good but not great. For a beer priced this high, a little more taste would be nice.

Blah, as brown ales are wont to be, but
more blah than other brown ales.
Newcastle is skunked about one fourth
of the time, probably because of
the clear bottle.

Does it get much better than this?
One of the outstanding quality British beers, which is saying something.

Nectar of the gods!

Not too bad for a brown ale. Uhh something I’d buy again but not everynight.

I tried this beer expecting to hate it, but I was pleasantly surprised by it. The typical sweetish/bitterness of ales was quite subdued making it a good everyday drinking beer.
