Commercial Description:
ACME CALIFORNIA BROWN ALE is creamy smooth after the style made famous in the north of England. It's toasty with hints of cherry and black currant. Acme Brown is brewed according to tradition with high dried and brown malt, and lightly finished with the Noble hops Tettnang and Hallertauer. The result is a very drinkable beer that can be enjoyed for an entire evening.

Clear brown. Small, dense, tan head. Aroma of roasty caramel malt. Same taste with crisp, subtle hops in the finish. Grainy brown sugar aftertaste. Medium, balanced body. Flavor lacks much depth, but what’s there is tasty. Nice session brew, could drink a ton of it.

(bottle - 12 oz) Clear, deep red pour with not much of a head to speak of. Sweet and nutty aroma with hints of caramel and malt. The flavor begins very sweet and nutty with a slightly tangy caramel followup and a nutty and bitter finish. Hops are detectable, but not overpowering. Very nice finish leaving only the tiniest hint of bitter.

Bottle, courtesy of Jacob Lövenlund. Chestnut, thin but sustained white head and gentle condition. Sweet caramel malt with background melanoidin notes in the nose. Pleasant sweet caramel maltiness in the mouth with a touch of nuttiness and a balancing hop biterness, low tingle of hop bitterness in the finish.

In the bottle. Pours a lovely copper color with a white medium-sized head. Hard to pull an aroma out of this. Possibly a little bit toasted malt, but not much. Flavor is very mild. Medium body and easy to drink. Quite mild in the bittering hop category as well. Pleasant and harmless beer.

Bottle (12oz). Poured clear copper with a large creamy tan head. Aroma of light roast malt, cream, faint floral hops and nuttiness. Taste is more like an ESB with some added hops, fresh-cut cedar and lemon/orange juice, UK-style funky hops but vegetal on warming. Mouthfeel of funky astringent hops, slightly watery and not much carbonation - unusual, hoppier than most browns, a little sour though.

Aroma is nutty and has a decent serving of caramel. Appears a thin brown with small layer of head. Flavor is mild and a little bit toasty with only the most gentle touch of malt and nuts.
