Commercial Description:
The Brown Ale is a traditional beer related to the first beers ever brewed commercially. Brewed with an interesting blend of malts, including pale two-row Harrington, Metcalfe, and Maris Otter malt, Caramel, Munich, and roasted Carafa malts, the Brown Ale shines with a deep mahogany luster. The malt flavor is complex and deep as well, with notes of biscuit, nut, and caramel. With moderate hop bitterness, a deep malt body, and a fruity ale fermentation character, the Samuel Adams Brown Ale satisfies the soul and doesn’t overwhelm the tongue.

12 oz bottle. Light brown. Nice thick taste, with a hint of bitterness at the end.

Watery aroma capped by moderate malts and hops. Average creamy off-white head covering a clear, medium brown body. Extremely watery taste and a watery mouthfeel with light astringency on the finish. Not a great choice for my first brown ale.

May 2006 - Another decent take on a style by Sam Adams. The aroma had that funky british brown ale nasty smell, but I guess I can’t hold that against it. Pour was brown, minimal head and little lacing. Flavor was pretty rich, surprisingly, caramel like with some hop bitterness to balance. Very earthy tasting. Decent, but not great.

Adams continues to impress me with their consistently good beers. This is a dark, clear brew with a foamy head. The aroma is fresh and sweet, with hints of grass, and the flavor is complex and malty, like a good brown ale should be. Smooth and mellow, a little thin, but still nicely hopped and flavorful.

bottle - Pours clear brown with a caramel malt and nut aroma. It has a tasty flavor of roast caramel malt and nuts with some mild hops in the background. It’s a smooth, simple beer that I rather enjoyed.
