3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20I thought this was a nice beer, especially since it was the first I had on my birthday. It’s a good one to have--not too bad, but not overly special. You still have beers to look forward to when you’ve had this one. Let it warm a bit, before drinking it, else you’ll miss the subtleties of this ale. When cold, it seems watery and somewhat boring. Closer to room temp, though, it’s pretty darn good--nutty with caramel and a fuller feel on the tongue. However, it still is not as thick as it could be. But, really, though, it’s not a bad beer. Worth a try. Oh yeah, and it’s not as sweet as you might would hope or expect.

Red ale with a good off white foam. Aroma has nuts, bread, and biscuit malt aroma followed by a toasted bread and light chocolate flavor. Finish is slightly malt with a lingering aftertaste.

On tap at Taco Mac. Clear dark copper. Large tan head. Aroma is subdued - only picking up a little malt, caramel. Taste is only slightly sweet - caramel and just a hint of bitter chocolate. Somewhat dry finish with subtle hops. Mouthfeel is moderate to light. Overall, fairly easy drinking beer, but nothing extraordinary.

One of the better renditions of an American brown ale, Sweetwater balances a mild earthy nuttiness with enough hops and malt sweetness to keep things in balance, and interesting. Pours a pretty reddish copper with a nose of caramel malt and hazelnut. Equally at home with a charred burger or a cinnamon sugar muffin, this brew is sessionable, flavorful, and versatile.
