FreakyBunny (1), Winchester, Ontario, Canada does not count Jul 2, 2008 My fave, hands down. Tastes like home made...and that’s a good thing. dolemite77 (184), Maryville, Tennessee, USA Jul 2, 2008 A bit average in every way to me now. This used to be my favorite "premium" beer, but now it seems watery and skunky. I should expect the skunk from the clear bottle. On a Corona or Kalik, the skunk can be a positive, but here it seems like it is just a way to ruin what could be a decent brown ale. Reduce the skunk, and beef up the malt for a better mouthfeel and body, and it could be higher than this. Just not enough here to get excited about. djones (116), Michigan, USA Jul 1, 2008 Updated: Sep 25, 2008Browned amber color with a off white head. Nutty, toffee, caramel flavors. smooth and sweet. easy to drink and enjoyable, though not the most robust flavors. Much better on tap than out of the glass bottle. trapez (767), Hilleroed, Denmark Jul 1, 2008 Can o.5 l. Bought Kvickly Hilleroed. Weak malt and nuts aroma. Colour beautiful golden amber with small beige head. Flavour slightly bitter, weak nuts, hops and caramel notes but rather anynomynous. dchmela (1411), Orlando, Florida, USA Jun 30, 2008 Snagged a bottle of this on a disgustingly hot summer day at Universal Studios Florida. Pours a reddish brown with a thin tan head. Kind of a sweet malty nutty taste. Easy to drink, but not the greatest brown ale. EFC1878 (291), Manchester, Greater Manchester, England Jun 29, 2008 Updated: Oct 2, 2008Bottle. Desperation stuff. Only ever drunk in nightclubs as it’s not easy to water down. Traditional sweetness associated with the brown ale style is overwhelmed by an awful metallic tang at the back of the throat. As it’s vastly over-carbonated it leaves an unpleasant feel in the mouth. ’The One and Only’? Thank fuck. The drink of choice for knob heads. subcell (95), Portsmouth, Virginia, USA Jun 28, 2008 New Castle Brown has long been one of my favorites. I think this is delicious from the bottle ot from tap. The only thing with this beer is that when it is bad, it is bad! I love the malty caramel taste of this beer and it is very smooth. It is also great to use in Belgian Stew as it really compliments the beef without overpowering the stew or making it bitter. azlondon (656), Fribourg, Switzerland Jun 27, 2008 Appearance: Redish brown. Very little head. A bit more when warmer.
Aroma: Malt. Bit of hops.
Taste: Malty and nutty. Sweet. Bitter aftertaste.
Info: 550ml bottle, 5/8-2006, 74/500
