Appalachian Trail Blaze Brown (PA)

Brewed by Appalachian Brewing Company (PA)
Style: Brown Ale
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania USA

Bottle from gettysburg. Nice for style , just a little too fizzy and some just off notes of sour fruits. Color was Ok at deep brownish amber, no head or lacing, but a little smoke. certainly as good as a Newcastle

A nice brew that I picked up in Baltimore. I thinked I bought more Penn brews here then anything. Clear, bright brown colour with a creamy frothy top. Aroma is very nutty and enticing. Taste is so pleasent, ecspecially since it’s not super sweet like some browns can be. Great beer overall.

October 2009 Beer of the Month Club, 11/13/09

Aroma: The aroma has some nutty flavors, lots of bread, a bit of chocolate, toffee, and some light fruitiness
Appearance: Pours a clear brownish-red color with a small tan head with minimal retention and lace
Flavor: Taste is has nutty malts, a bit of fruitiness, some caramel, toffee and earthy hops
Palate: The mouthfeel is decent, though a drop on the thin side, smooth and drinkable
Overall Impression: I would definitely avoid serving this one freezing cold. I know that this disclaimer should not really be necessary, but some of the other review seem to indicate to me that they drank this beer to cold, as it has no aroma at that point. However, once it warms it becomes a relatively aromatic brew. Beyond the nose, it is a pretty decent beer, heavy on the malty characteristic with a bit of hops to give the appearance of a balance that really isn’t there.

Poured a nice brown with a little bit of off white head caramel aroma Slight sweet taste caramel little bit of chocolate a decent brew drinkable would do again

Appalachian Trail Blaze Brown is a clear red ale with a thin beige head that fades and leaves nice lacing. There’s a little chocolate and caramel in the nose. It’s quite light bodied and a little watery with a scratchy finish. The flavor has a little roastiness and a green bitterness. It’s pretty homemade tasting.

Draft at PA Spring Fest. Filtered orange-brown color. Mellow smooth brown malt aroma. Balanced, medium bodied, lots of nutty flavor. Pretty well done. Malt really carries the beer. Delicate on the palate.

Cheapdark sent this one my way, thanks Dennis. This beer pours with a nice fluffy head and leaves plenty of lace. The color is a lighter brown, seriously.... it’s brown. Aroma is nicely hoppy with a little citrus, some rye bread, and a little nuttiness. Flavor is pretty hoppy at first with some good earthy old world style hops, which is odd because the hoppiness in the aroma was very west coast to me. The beer is very roasty and a little nutty; this is pretty darned robust for a brown ale. There is an odd sort of astringent character that keeps this from being great, but there is plenty going on here, particularly for the style.
