Newcastle Brown Ale

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

Light sweet and fruity with an edge of roast malt, nutty and a little citrus, gentle hopping for a touch of balancing bitterness.

On draft at dave & busters, good thing no one comes here for the beer as this was the best choice. Dark nutty brown with weak unattractive head. Smells nutty, floral, and subtle dry fruits dipped in syrup. Hefty very wet mouthfeel. Nutty taste with prevalent alcohol...I wish that I ordered a san pellegrino instead.

It poured a dark clear golden copper liquid with a small foam that left some lacing. IT had a smell of caramell and malt. It had a taste of caramell, malt, some sweetness and a hint of something burned. Decent but a bit boring. Decent but a bit boring.

Pours deep brownish red color, little to no aroma. Very small flavor, a slight malt note and a bit sweet. Overall not a very flavorful beer.

Sort of sweet yet drinkable and light. Had this on draft with dinner and it was really good, though didn’t pair as well with the entree (pasta) as it did with the heartier appetizer. Fairly mild in flavor, with a clean finish. Better than I remember.

This beer is not good out of a bottle. It tastes sugary, overly malty, and has a distinct flavor of dirt. On top it is marginally better but by no means great. It really lacks the character and balance you would hop for from a brown ale, but it is a mass produced beer so you can hardly expect perfection. Very thin, too roasted, and way too carbonated. Pass.

Sickenly sweet flavour with masses of caramel malt but almost no hop flavours. Very unpleasant metallic aftertaste from bottle due to excessive carbonation - the gassist beer I have ever tried. Suits the Scottish and North East palate for obnoxiously sweet, malty beers perfectly, but not to my taste at all.

Pours a clear Crayola brown. Nose os toasty malt and mild citrus. Flavor is a refreshing malt beverage with some crisp citrus notes. Not a terrible beer by any stretch. I can drink a dozen of these. One of my go-to gas station beers.
