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.

One of my favorite brown ales. Classic representation of the style. I wish it came in something othert than clear bottles.

Brown, fairly low carbonated beer. Not much head. Aroma is a little malty, a little nutty. Taste is pretty good. Malt is definitely the biggest part of the taste ad well. Overall, not the best beer.

Did not have such high expectations for this beer and it was pretty mediocre. Bad with flavor and aroma. Nah, it’s tastier brown ale to drink.

12 oz clear bottle. I chose this beer at a sushi restaurant because I thought it was the best of their limited selection. Pours a clear brown with red highlights and a small off-white head. Aroma is totally skunked. Taste is totally skunked. If I wasn’t an alcoholic I wouldn’t have even finished it.

Et frisk godt øl med en fruktig smak. Fim dyp rødbrun farge. Middels lukt. Godt leskende sommerøl.

Mørkebrunt lettdrukket øl. Moderat med skum. Frisk med litt fruktig fylde. Lite carbonering. Rema 1000.

A dark, nutty beer that I thoroughly enjoyed. Not too bitter and not too sweet, a good blend really. Moderately filling beer with little aftertaste.

Amber/copper colored, clear. Small/minimal head, disappears quick. White/tan foam. lightly sour. Palate: light body, thin feel, flat carbonation, abrupt finish.

zenkis (244) - Ogre, LATVIA - MAY 6, 2013
Pours light copper or deep amber with medium white to beige top. Aroma is mild sour English ale with no intense berries in flavor. Flavor is like diluted "Britain got talent" with far away tones of good English ale. Taste like semisweet lemonade. I think I’m doomed with brown ales cause they all tastes so different, not constant at all. One time sample.
