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.

Bottled. Pint Glass. Samuel Adams does deliver a very good-looking beer, as usual. More clear than their black lager with the same mahogany coloring. Much thinner head. Lively carbonation in an otherwise thin body. Malty flavor that is well-hopped. Not particularly impressive, but drinkable.

Pours light pale brown with minimal, fizzy, white head. Aroma is lightly sweet brown suger, and a little nutty. Flavor follows aroma. Palate is a little thin, fizzy mouthfeel, lightly bittersweet finish.

Rich clear brownish red color with a light fizzy head, tastes moderately bitter at first, and then settles with a malty aftertaste. The aroma is nutty with a hint of sweetness. Overall a moderately good ale.

Very enjoyable nut brown ale. Crystal clear mahogany color with a small head and nutty aroma. Medium bodied with nice mouthfeel and balanced bitterness.

Not a very good beer from boston beer company. The Black Ale is much better. Brown color with a slightly red color. Aroma is rusty. Bitter flavor.
