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.

Pours with a four-finger light tan head that fades slowly leaving a good lace. Clear amber color. Light-medium carbonation and medium bodied. Malty, nutty nose. Flavor starts as roasted nuts with a more bitter/hoppy finish. 12oz bottle from $6.99 6-pak Shaw’s Supermarket Concord, NH.

Pours a beautiful brown color. Nice off-white head. The head sticks around with some decent lacing. Slight malt aroma and maybe a musty/cardboard smell. Very nice malty taste with just enough hop bitterness if you look for it. Pretty nice offering.

A great robust smoky taste of malt and light hops, there is a almost near-perfect balance between the two flavors. The malts have a smoked nutty flavor that would enhance any meal fit for this style.

Bottle. Clear brown color. Thick bubble head with good lace on the glass. Sweet aroma of nut, caramel, and syrup. Highly carbonated pallete like a seltzer that was off kilter. Malty yet watery taste, dissapointing considering the great look and smell going for it. Subtly hopped in the end making it a clean finishing beer but lacking any true distinction. Still one of the best you will find in a supermarket.

Typical SA offering-- slightly better than a generic macro. Ordinary and mild. Carmel malt and slightly metalic hop taste.

Pretty good, nuntty flavor. Dark amber color looks great in a glass. Like most Sam Adams brews, I enjoyed it a lot. It’s nothing real wild, but you can’t really go wrong with it either.
