Smells like a lager, tastes like a lager... How is this a brown ale ??? Anyways, tastes like an amber lager with a bit more hops than a macro one.

Dec 11, 2009 Pours a copper colour. Aroma is caramel and malt. Taste is a pleasant mix of caramel, toffee and malt. Not a remarkable beer but an easy drinking enjoyable beer.

Dec 4, 2009 Can on a trip to Canada . . . okay flavor, very light and somewhat weak. The color is good, and there are some good caramel malt flavors, just not much else. Cans are never a good thing but it wasn’t horrible.

Nov 29, 2009 33 cl bottle, Fargo, ND, USA via Winnipeg. Light amber colour, mildly active carbonation. Caramel/toffee aroma, sweet flavor with some some butterscotch and faint banana. Very drinkable, although lighter weight than I had hoped.

Nov 26, 2009 bottle, cellar temperature. lighter, copper-colored version of traditional is fairly accurate. The quality is fairly similar to their ’traditional’ except with a litle less of an edge. Still, surprisingly underrated on here, especially considering some of the horrid stuff with similar scores.
Although it is marked here as a ’brown ale’, the bottle itself has a sort of dial with different styles on it, and the highlighted one is ’Ale’, not ’English Brown’. The commercial description merely states that it has a nutty finish similar to an English Brown, it doesn’t suggest that it is one. An English Brown is considerably maltier and thicker.
In its own right quite good though, certainly the taste is very good and it makes for a fine session beer (not as good as Traditional though), but the palate and aroma are far from top-notch.

Oct 27, 2009 Bottle at C’est What’s ’Fall Festival of Craft Breweries’. Pours a clear gold with a small diminishing creamy white head. Aroma of caramel malt, grain and some sweetness. Flavour of grain, caramel malt and very light hops. Average bodied. Not very good.

Oct 14, 2009 355 mL Can :(. Can’t find this in bottles in the city. Clear amber pour, can gives it a larger than average head. Aroma is nutty, almond, hazelnut,vanilla, roasted malts. Taste is light and sweet, with a clean mouthfeel that is quite refreshing. More appealing than Traditional.
