Pours a crystal clear ruby-brown (the label don’t lie!) with a quarter inch wispy ivory head. Head is persistent and leaves some very light lacing. Aroma is caramel malt, hint of some bitter hops.
Taste is dominated by caramel malt. Sweetish and finishes with some herbal tasting English style hops. It’s medium bodied. This ia a surprisingly good brown ale. Straight forward and true to style. Good brown in my book. Haven’t has this in close to 10 years but it holds up.

Aug 20, 2008 Dark amber/brown with hints of ruby. Generous creamy head. I wasn’t expecting such a robust appearance but im not complaining there. Lots of caramelized, sweet malts with a touch of hops. Not quite as much of the roasted or nutty characters that many browns have though. Overall, a pretty good beer, worth a try.

Aug 13, 2008 Deep brown color, with rich ruby undertones. Full creamy head, a visually better looking beer then I had expected. Some sweet malt in the nose, but misses some of the nutty and sugary aromas of browns I have enjoyed. Finishes a little fast and somewhat hoppy.

Aug 6, 2008 Bottle, coarse bubbled head collapses quickly, rich amber/brown/ garnet hue. Smells just like Yuengling Lager to me, a bit stale, some wet cardboard. Taste has a mild a hop backbone, a bit lagerish, just a trace of brown ale flavor, watery mouthfeel, highly attenuated without much malt body. Finishes watery with a quickly dissipating hop flavor. Doesn’t cross the finish line with a 3 rating for me.

Aug 5, 2008 Bottle. Pours deep brown with a reddish tint, with two finger tan head. Malty aroma. Not what I expected when I saw "brown" ale. Not a lot of flavor, but what is there is a bit watery with a malty taste.

Jul 28, 2008 This is not my kind of brown ale..Pours a clear copper colour with decent size off white head. lacing is nice, but thin and scattered. aroma is a little metallicy and malty at times. touch of nuttiness, but mostly watery at times. weak brown ale in my opinion.
