duff (5404), Sydney, Australia, Surrey, England Jun 4, 2004 Tap@Oregon Trail. Sweet nuts and caramel, quite malty, like their others, it felt a bit empty, but it was drinkable. Bov (4604), Bienne, Switzerland Jul 20, 2000 BückDich (4525), Boise, Idaho, USA Mar 9, 2005 Sampled draught at Old World Deli/Oregon Trail Brewing, Corvallis Brown color, nice head, nose of light crystal malts & fruity hops. Light roast & a bitter hop flavor. The finish is a bit tangy & too bitter for me. Next! acrdz (4248), Pennsylvania, USA Dec 30, 2005 Draft at the brewery. A very well-made classic style brown ale, and I think the Oregon Trail house yeast (not sure exactly what it is) fits this beer the best. This brown ale is wet and sweet up front with ample maple and a light nutty spice note, changing to a more dry and starchy finish across the back of the tongue. Very flavorfull when fresh, and very well-made.
