Bottle from Irishboy. Pours a dark amber color with a white head. Smells like a typical brown ale. Doesn’t have much to it for taste either.

UPDATED: FEB 23, 2009 Bottle, special procurement. More on the amber side than brown. Slightly phenolic nose. Also a faint aroma of freshly cut grass. Nice malt flavors with good hops and good carbonation levels although finishes thin. Nuttty, roasty, with licorice in the finish.

Bottle shared by Daknole. Mainly clear amber with hardly any head. Slight smokiness in the aroma, also some huskiness. Juicy body with nice toasted malt flavors. Very nutty but thin-bodied. 5-3-6-3-12 = 2.9

Pours brown with a thin white head. Smells of caramel. Tastes nutty with some touches of sweet malt and light spices. Mouthfeel is a little on the thin side. Finish is semi sweet and earthy.

Aug. 2007 - Dark chestnut color, ok head and lacing. Flavor was mild caramel, but dry, lots of nuts and some bitter earthy hops. Dreadfully dull. I can’t imagine anyone drinking this other than to just try/review something new. Do people actually buy cases of this stuff?

bottle from irishboy: pours a clean cooper colour with a large off white head, some lacing. aroma is a week buttery sweet malt, little to no hops. flavour is almost non exsistant, just a small amount of the buttery malt and a hint of some bitter in the finish. pretty bland.

Bottle shared by Axilla. Poured brownish amber with a small white head. Aroma is slightly floral but mostly like a tomatoes??? I know… that’s weird. Taste is mild but really has some vegetable qualities and a bit watery. Finish is of bitter earthy hops.

Appearance: Pours a clear, reddish-amber body with a thin, wispy white head. Smell: Weak aroma of pale and caramel malts and Nobel-esque floral hop hints. Taste: Pale malts with a hint of caramel and breadcrumbs. Faint grassiness arrives with a medium bitterness. Finishes abrupt with just a lingering trace of grass. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Just a touch watery. Drinkability: The flavors are rather muddled and ultimately produce a dull, dull beer.

Score: *4

Pours a transparent copper orange with a spotty-lacing white head. Aroma of earthy English hops and some semi-sweet pale malts. Starts mildly sweet and grainy caramely malty with some piny hop presence toward a drier, bittersweet finish. Doesn’t really seem like much of a brown ale, and pretty bland at that.

Bottle via trade with Irishboy. Slight aroma of grainy malt, wheat toast and some grassy hops. Pours rich copper with minimal lacing. Flavor has some simple caramel malt with minimal hop bitterness bodied. Slightly metallic. Thin to medium bodied. Finishes short and dry. Simple but drinkable.
