St. George Tavern Ale

Brewed by St. George Brewing Company
Style: Brown Ale

Serve in Dimpled mug

Sour old fruit aroma. Clear dark orange color with a large tan head. Mildly sweet throughout with a creamy palate.

Pours a clear amber with a thin lt tan head. Slightly sweet malty aroma...notes of caramel and dried leaves. Flavor has a mild nuttiness, a bit of caramel, and some earthy hoppiness. Mouthfeel is light...somewhat lively...with a mildly roasted nutty finish. Pretty standard and fairly boring.

Cask at GBBF 2011. Slightly hazy amber color. The aromas and flavors of toffee, nuts and malt husks with low bitterness. Fresh malt and wort taste. Could have more roast or bitterness, now this is almost too mellow and rounded.

Bottle from the brewery with the newer Nut Brown Ale label. Light, hazy, amber color with a small white head. Grainy aroma with a hint of sweetness. Light but pleasant flavor. Okay.

Cask at the GBBF 2011. Dark amber with a small off-white head. Malty aroma with biscuit character, and a fruity touch. Sweet and malty flavour

GBBF. Clear brown beer with a residual white head, Light dry palate. Light bland malts - trace of toffee. Trace of insipid hop. This much to English for my liking! Dull!
