COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Available filtered and pasteurised in keg and bottle.
Newcastle Brown Ale was first brewed in 1927 in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England, by Jim Porter after three years of development. Production moved from Newcastle to Gateshead at the end of 2004 and to Tadcaster on closure of the Dunston brewery in 2010.

Pours brown-red/orange with almost no head as it’s typical for an ale - same for the low carbonization. Smell of grapes. the taste reminded me more to apples with a little sourness. dry at the palate.

I like this widely distributed British beer. Brown/amber shines in the clear glass bottle. The aroma is slightly malty and the body is thin. The flavor is malty, with a nice burst of tartness. Finishes dry and a tad bitter. Very nice beer.

Brown pour with a slight head. Looks like sewer water. Smell is very factory like. Slight chemical smell. Taste is slight sweet with some nut. Slight bitterness. This is ok, but nothing special.

prawlie (475) - Berkshire, ENGLAND - OCT 28, 2011
500 mL bottle from Tesco poured into a pint glass. Brown brown ale with a pretty good head on it. The aroma is toasted and ok. Its reasonable but lacks depth.

Cunningham (1754) - Halden, NORWAY - OCT 24, 2011
UPDATED: JAN 24, 2012 Bottle and on tap. Reddish brown colour with a tan head. Lots of malty caramel in the nose. Mainly a lot of moderate sweet malt caramel in the flavour. Light hoppy
