Samuel Adams Brown Ale

12 oz bottle poured into a pint glass. Deep amber to light brown body with a rocky light beige head. Notes of yeast and molasses dominate the aroma. Flavor is of walnut, caramel candies and light coffee with a mild lingering English hop character. Decent but a bit sweet.

Caramel in color with a light tan head. Aroma is sweet malt, honey, floral hops and molasses. Flavor has the bite of hops, but not much of their flavor. Rather sweet, honey malt flavor with molasses, too. Nice body for a brown. An inoffensive beer, nothing special.

light brown color. nutty, wheat-like taste. quite flavorful. smooth finish, not too much bite to it. one of my favorites.

Rated 10/5/06: Light brown pour, lots of lacing. Aroma is very sweet and malty with a tinge of floral hops. Watery on the palate I’m not very keen on the mouthfeel here. Flavor is promising but is overly sweet. Good mix of malts and hops, sweet with notes of caramel and bread. Decent brew.

Pours a bubbly, clear brown with a light off white head. Smells of some mild caramel and molasses, a little grainy as well. Nothing exciting. The taste is very light bodied, some nutty roast, but mild in flavor. Pretty easy drinking, but nothing really special going on. Finish is slightly bitter and the aftertaste is somewhat metallic. Drinkable.

Bottled. Poured coppery brown, with a tan, foamy head. Nose was malt and yeast. The flavor malty and a little nutty. The finish had some mild hop notes. Refreshing, but not noteworthy.

Bottle. 12 fl. oz. Clear reddish brown color with very small head. Very sweet caramel aroma. Little carbonation. Sweet caramel flavor with a dry finish.

The aroma is sweet caramel malts. The pour is a nice brown with a off tan head. The flavor is not exactly what the aroma leads you to believe. The caramel malts are there, but they are subtle. Instead, there is a light hoppy and citrus flavor. The beer is way to carbonated and a tad thinner then I like. An OK offering. I expected a bit more.
