Newcastle Brown Ale

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

I freely admit bias in this review.Newcastle was the first beer I ever fell in love with and it remains a faithful go to beer. Always satisfying if not demanding. This being my first review I felt it only fair to start with the brew that opened my eyes to what a beer could be.

Bottle. Pours a nice rich brown/amber color. Pleasant aroma which includes hops. Taste is also pleasant. Decent beer.

Sweet, simple, decent enough ale with no complexity. Good for a session ale if you have somewhat heartier food and no other options. I had it from the bottle though; I suspect it would be quite a bit better on tap.

From a bottle poured light brown with a fair amount of head. Nice bitter malty flavor with a lingering finish.

caramel, floral, Classic brown ale, medium hops, nice sweetnes - nice beer

This is a beer I began to appreciate during my time in England. It is an affordable brown ale with an astounding flavor and appearance.

Haven’t had this one in years...since before I was a craft brew lover. Not quite as good as I remember it, although better than most domesticaly produced macros. Pours a nice dark red-brown with a frothy tan head that is gone rather quickly. Light body with a fairly watered down flavor profile with some malt notes and very little in the bitterness dept. Again a decent macro, but not something I plan on picking up again very soon.

A great, dark brew. A perfect amount of head, a bitterness that is not overpowering, and a very smooth drink. This beer even tastes good at room temperature. Honestly, this is the chocolate milk of beer, as it is sweet and delicious.
