’the one and only’ newcy brown (to us further south atleast). took me over 140 ratings to get to this most obvious of british beers, but not much to write home about after that. some yeasty hints. otherwise watery, thin and bland.

Dark amber with good, foamy brown head / Yeasty, sweet malt nose / Light body, high carbonation, with faint finish / Simple coca cola-caramel flavors / Mediocre.

Clear ruby brown with moderate head that collapses quickly. Caramel and roast malt aromas with a hint of english hops. Carmelized malt sweetness and some roast malt flavors with very low hop flavor or bitterness.Nice standard english style brown ale.

bottle. pours orange brown with thin white head. not much in the aroma department. but offers some good flavors once you dig in. nice malt backbone, sweet caramel, mild bitter hop to finish. pretty tasty for a big brand and while the palate is somewhat thin, the light carbonation helps maintain the creamy mouthfeel. would be a good transition beer for non-micro drinkers. also excellent when studying for aptitude tests.

Mild & watery. Not top notch.. but ok. Nutty and malty, carbonation is low. Very low key. Bland brownie. Not bad, just bland. 9/08 Just had my first skunked newcastle bottle. I also just saw cans of newcastle for the first time in my state(S.Carolina). I’ll try these for another glimpse of this macro beer.

Newcastle Brown in a bottle was my ’gateway’ beer. After drinking several of these on several occasions, my eyes were opened as well as my tastebuds and I’ve never looked back. Smooth and low carbonated, this brown allows you to drink it far too easily and it’s quite sessionable. Are there better browns, no doubt, but thanks to Heineken’s distribution, I can thank Newcastle for my love of beer!

This is an odd beer for me as I used to like it when I first tried beer, disliked it for a bit after I got into ’good’ beer, and have since re-tried it now I kind of like it again. Pour is decent dark brown, very malty aroma, some yeast. Taste is pretty sweet, very much like liquid bread, plenty of malt, some yeast. Decent enough for a beer produced by the millions of gallons.
