COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Brewed in the northern style of an English ale. This light brown ale has a nice caramel and toasted malt flavor, combined with a fresh hoppy aroma that is slightly fruity. This is nicely complimented by a subtle bitterness that rounds out the palate.

I didn’t expect this beer to be like this at all. Pours a deep brown with not a whole lot of head, but a little retention. Smells nutty and of brown sugar with a little mild hops. Taste is virtually exactally the same as the smell just a little more intense on the brown sugar and hops. This is pretty well balanced and overall I liked it enough to buy it sometime when I am looking for a departure. Brown ale is generally not my thing but this is ok.

Bottle. Nutty aroma, mild. Deep brown body, tan head. Flavor is very mild, hints of fruit and caramel. Finishes crisp but thin.

Nice aroma, color, slight head. Decent effervescence. Overriding flavor notes were bitter with a metallic finish. Not the best brown ale I have had.

16 oz bottle. Pours a medium brown color, some head, dissipates quickly. Aroma is very light, some malt and caramel. Flavor is bitter caramel malt, a bit toasty. It finishes abruptly, with a slightly metallic aftertaste. Palate is thin and somewhat fizzy. Overall I did not care for this as much as other brown ales.

Hazy brown color with a thin off white head. Aroma of toffee with a mild yet malty and a dash of hops with a hint of caramel.

The brown ale pours a medium brown color from a 12oz bottle. Small to medium sized white foamy head, with decent retention and quickly fading lacing. The aroma is nutty and earthy, some caramel and fruitiness. A medium bodied brown ale. The malts are nutty, caramel and sweet. The hops are earthy and floral. A decently flavorful brown ale. This beer would be very drinkable as a session ale. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

Pours a thicker darker caramel color with a small fine beige froth. Pretty grassy smelling for a brown, quite earthy with some light chocolate and caramel. Sugary syrupy chocolate and caramel, slightly burnt and some hay. Odd. Thicker body with tons of airy crisp carbonation. Not impressed.

A nice medium brown color with a quickly fading head.... There was of dark fruit and sweet maltiness in a very non-descript nose... Tastes of sweet malt, a hit of dry hops but none are very aggressive... Overall good flavor...
