Commercial Description:
Our roasted chocolate and pale malts shake hands creating mild caramel flavors. Brown is your new reason to love beer. Hops are added to create the perfect balance of sweetness to hopiness. Brown is back... and it's beautiful.

12 oz. bottle courtesy of a trade with ditmier. Pours a clear amber with a large tan head that lasted through three-quarters of the glass and left partial lace. Very mild, in fact barely noticeable aroma of malt and not much else. The flavor is weak watered down malt followed by mixed vegetables. Medium bitterness. Light-medium bodied. Pretty forgettable.

Dark reddish, nice color for a brown ale. Small head. Mild, ordinary aroma. Really nice sweetness, good amount of hops to match. Don’t taste the advertised chocolate (which happens to be just fine with me). Not bad at all.

Rich brown pour, light lacing, sour hops, watery, blah, I was a little excited as I usually really like Brown Ales. I was sorely disappointed.

Bridgeport sixers are on sale for $5.49 at the local and I was about to grab some IPA as it is my old standby but I thought "Why not try something new?" Nice brown-red color with a very helathy, foamy head. The smell is at first has a similar component to the IPA so maybe that is the yeast but its followed by a distinct malt smell. Nothing too special but still good. Nutty, brown flavor that is about average for a brown. Not sweet like Newcastle but actually has a bitterness. This would be an interesting Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 03-22-2008 19:40:27 id: 645884

2009 Bottle - Pours a dk amber with a small tan head...aroma is toasty, nutty and dry malty...flavous is suprisingly astringent, bitter malt and bitter hop, not a great balance...bitterness pretty much takes front and center, and makes it hard to notice much else...fair amout of grain, pretty forgetable...

Crushed with Jakebra. One bad brown ale. Lots of sweet malt, little roast, plenty poop on the nose. I think there’s dirt in this beer actually. Grainy, nasty mouthfeel. Not good.

Medium brown color with a thin head. Toasty caramel malts, earthy, bread, and light fruit in the aroma. Light bodied with a higher carbonation level than I would like. Caramel malts, toasty, light doughy flavor, sweet fruit, and a little chocolate. Finish has a higher hop bite than I thought was coming with a dryer than expected feel to it. It’s not bad, it’s just not the type of brown I enjoy.

On tap at 515 in Santa Cruz. Clear medium brown with a fluffy off-white head. Not much lacing, decent retention. Aroma is bready malts with a sweet citric hop tinge. Flavor is bread crusts, cocoa, light roast, and a bit of earthy hoppiness. Mouthfeel is overcarbonated and a little too thin. Comes up a bit short in every category.
