Carbonated bubbles rise from the bottom of the glass into a ring of foam around the edge and a swirling pool in the center of the glass. Aroma of roasted caramel malt and walnut husk. Initial flavor of sweet malt, toasted walnut fading into a slighlty bitter hoppy finish that has a lingering almost buttery feel. Nebulor (109), , California, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 1, 2009 Roasted caramel malt aroma with some florals.
Pours a root beer/cola color with a tan/biege head that dissipated and could not see any sediment with moderate action.
Bready caramel malt bitter almost burnt taste with orange and grapefruit flavored hops in the background.
Medium bodied, watery/resinous feel, with lively soft carbonation and a slight hint of astringency.
I’ve been reviewing a lot of USA and German beers why not some British beers? This is a session type of Brown ale that has some Bitter character that is not overwhelmingly astringent. Snojerk321 (1937), San Diego, California, USA
